Question: A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a cross - section dimensions b = 4 0 0 m m and overall depth h = 8 0

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a cross-section dimensions b=400mm and overall depth h=800mm. The beam as shown in the image below carries a superimposed dead load of 12kNm(excluding the self-Weight of the beam) and specified live load of 20kNm. The beam has a compressive strength of 30Mpa and reinforcement yield strength of 400Mpa.
a) What is the self weight of the beam?
b) What is the modulus of elasticy and yeild strain of reinforcement (
c) Draw the factored shear force and bending moment diagram for all loads including but not limited to self weight of the beam I
d) What is the concrete cover for the beam for exposure class of C-1?'.
e) Considering 2 layers of 4-20M reinforcement and 10M ties around the the 20M reinforcement and the clear distance between the two layer of reinforcement is 35mm, what is the effective depth? What is the reinforcement ratio?
f) Design the section for Maximum positive bending moment using 35M reinforcement size in 1 layer only that are tied to the stirups, such that resistant moment capacity is at least 10% higher than demand. Use the clear cover from part d of the question.
g) Design the section for Maximum negative bending moment using 35M reinforcement size in 1 layer only that are tied to the stirups, such that resistant moment capacity is at least 10% higher than demand. Use the clear cover from part d of the question.
h) Draw the reinforcement arrangement for both cross-sections (Maximum positive and Maximum Negative) and also across the beams length
