Concrete Beam Calculations Bending ULS

Question $4$

Using the concrete beam design methodology from your lectures $($located in 'Structural Elements Design Manual, Working With Eurocodes'$)$ check the section size and determine the area of reinforcement for the following singly reinforced concrete beam:

$($all calculations must be shown. Print$-$outs from design$-$packages will not satisfy the Learning Outcome$)$

$(6)$ DESIGN BEAM FOR BENDING ULS

Data provided:

Beam width $($b$)350mm$

Overall depth $($h$)660mm$

Effective depth $($d$)600mm$

Required m $($ULS$)550$ kNm

Concrete grade C$30$

$(6$b$)$ DESIGN BEAM SIZE TO SATISFY BENDING ULS

Data provided:

A singly reinforced concrete beam is to be constructed using C$30$ concrete.

The beam is required to resist an ultimate sagging and bending moment of $200kNm.$

The only specified dimension is the beam's width, $350mm.$

You are required to specify a realistic beam depth and determine an arrangement for the required reinforcement.
