Question: : A simply supported 2 2 ft long concrete beam with the section given below is subjected to the following loads: Distributed Dead Load (

: A simply supported 22 ft long concrete beam with the section given below is subjected to
the following loads:
Distributed Dead Load (NOT including self-weight): 0.7kft
Distributed Live Load: 1.3kft
With fc=3500 psi and ASTM A706 Grade 60 reinforcement, find the
following:
a) The weight of the section in kft
b) The factored design moment (M4) for the beam per ACl
318
c) The factored moment capacity (Mn) of the beam per ACl
318
d) Ensure the reinforcement ratio is within the ACl 318
minimum and maximum limits
e) Is the current beam sufficient for the applied loads?
