Question: A rectangular reinforced concrete beam with width b = 3 5 0 mm , and effective depth of d = 5 0 0 mm ,

A rectangular reinforced concrete beam with width b =350 mm, and effective depth of d =500 mm, and a total depth of h =700 mm is reinforced with three No.32(3 x 819 mm2) bars. Material strength are concrete with fc=35 MPa and steel with fy =420 MPa. The elastic moduli of the concrete and steel are, respectively, Ec =28,000 MPa and Es =200,000 MPa. (a) Find the moment that will produce the first cracking at the bottom surface of the beam, basing your calculation on Ig, the moment of inertia of the gross concrete section. (b) Repeat the calculation, using Iut, the moment of inertia of the uncracked transformed section. (c) Determine the maximum moment that can be carried without stressing the concrete beyond 0.45 fc or the steel beyond 0.60 fy
