Question: A rectangular beam made using concrete with f c = 6 0 0 0 psi and steel with fy = 6 0 0 0 0

A rectangular beam made using concrete with fc =6000 psi and steel with fy =60000 psi
has a width b =16 inches and an effective depth d =21.5 inches and a total depth h =24
inches. The concrete modulus of rupture fr =530 psi. The elastic moduli of concrete and
steel are, respectively, Ec =4030000 psi and Es =29000000 psi. The tensile steel consists
of four No.10 bars. (20 points)
a) Find the maximum service load moment that can be resisted without stressing the
concrete above 0.45fc or stressing the steel above 0.4fy.
b) Determine if the beam will crack before reaching the service load moment determined in
part a
