Question: 1 . A 2 4 long concrete beam with a uniform dead load of 1 . 0 k / ft and a uniform live load

1. A 24 long concrete beam with a uniform dead load of 1.0k/ft and a uniform live load of 2.0k/ft
fc =3,000psi
fy =60,000psi
a. Calculate the maximum factor uniform load on the beam (7 pts)
b. Per ACI moment coefficients, calculate the maximum positive and negative beam moments, Mu (8 pts)
c. If the beam width is 10 in and the maximum positive beam moment is 180 k-ft, calculate estimated beam depth and width (5 pts)
d. If the estimated beam depth is 17 in & the beam width is 12 in, determine the required area of reinforcement & select bars (7 pts)
e. If the area of reinforcing is 2.70 in2, calculate the tension force in the reinforcing, T (3 pts)
2. A concrete beam with a rectangular cross section has fc =3,000psi & steel with fy =40 ksi. Select the beam dimensions and reinforcement for a balanced section if the beam sustains a moment due to dead load of 60 kip-ft and a moment due to live load of 90 kip-ft.(20 pts)
3. Find the area of steel reinforcement required and select the bars for a beam if the section dimensions are b =14 in. and d =25 in.(20 pts)
fc =4,000psi
fy =60 ksi
A moment due to dead load of 36 kip-ft
A moment due to live load of 65 kip-ft
