Question: A rectangular concrete beam having a width of 2 5 0 mm and an effective depth of 3 5 0 mm will be design to

A rectangular concrete beam having a width of 250 mm and an effective depth of 350 mm will be design to carry the factored design loads as stated. The steel yield strength fy =275 MPa and concrete strength fc'=20.7 MPa. If the compression steel is found necessary, it will be placed 60 mm from the extreme compression fiber of the beam. a. Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm diameter tension steel for a singly reinforced section reinforced with maximum steel for tension control. b. Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm tension reinforcements if the beam is to carry a factored design moment of 80 kN.m c. Determine the number of pieces of 20 mm tension reinforcements if the beam is to carry a factored design moment of 135 KN.m
