Question: Beam Cracking ( 4 5 points ) . Consider the beam cross section shown below: A s = 3 i n 2 f y =

Beam Cracking (45 points). Consider the beam cross section shown below:
As=3in2
fy=60ksi
fc=3ksi
fr=7.5?2(fc)=7.5V(3000)
=0.41ksi
Es=29000ksi
Ec=57000?2(fc)=57000V(3000)
=3122ksi
Note - Follow the example given in class and questions f)- i) should be considerably easier if
you draw the diagrams of strain and stress through the depth of the beam.
a) Find the ?bar(y) the centroid of the shape, measured relative to the top, accounting for the
difference in stiffness between the rebar and the concrete.
b) Find and define IUT c) What is the cracking moment MCR?
d) If the beam were simply supported and 20 ft long - what uniformly distributed load would cause that moment?
g) What is the maximum compressive stress in the concrete when: M=MCR and fct=frupture?
Given the loading from part d, where is the beam in compression (diagram and sentence)?
h) What is the stress in the steel under the same condition?i) What is the strain in the steel?
i) What is the strain in the steel?
