Question: A simply supported rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a span of 6 m , width of 2 5 0 m m , effective depth of

A simply supported rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a span of 6m,
width of 250mm, effective depth of 500mm and a total depth of 600mm. The
beam is reinforced with 25mm diameter bars. The fc'=28MPa and the steel
yield strength fy=415MPa. In addition to the live load and its own weight, the
beam carries a 150mm thick concrete slab that is 5m wide. The unit weight of
concrete is 24kNcu.m.
Required:
a.) What is the total service (unfactored) uniform dead load acting on the
beam in kNm?
b.) What is the nominal moment capacity of the beam in kN-m
c.) What is the maximum uniform service (factored) live load acting over the
entire span that can be supported by the beam in kNm?
