Question: A rectangular, tension - reinforced beam is to be designed for dead load of 7 2 7 4 . 3 4 N / m plus

A rectangular, tension-reinforced beam is to be designed for dead load of 7274.34 N/m plus self weight and service live load of 17458.42 N/m with a .7056 m simple span. Material strengths will be fy=413.69 MPA, fc=20.68 MPA for steel and concrete, respectively The total beam depth must not exceed 0.4064 m. Calculate the required beam width and tensile steel requirement ratio of 0.60pmax. Use ACI load factors and strength reduction factors. The effective depth may be assumed to be 0.0635 m less than the total depth.
