Question: Problem 1 ( 1 0 0 p t s ) The rectangular beam cross - section shown below is used to build a simply -
Problem The rectangular beam crosssection shown below is used to build a simply
supported beam, spanning ft The beam supports a superimposed uniform dead load of of
and a superimposed uniform live load of of Design the beam cross
section, ie determine the size of beam and d and determine the number and size
of reinforcement, following the steps shown below.
Use psi and ksi
Find by assuming the selfweight would add more moment.
Compute required and in the way we discussed in the class. Provide the answers in
inches. Note that you must assume
in
the strain of reinforcement at failure is
Select b d and h based on the answers in Step
Using the dimensions for the beam crosssection selected in Step compute the selfweight
of the beam
Add the selfweight to the dead load and compute Mu again.
find the amount of tensile reinforcement, required to resist the moment due the factored
loads, ie find
find the minimum amount of reinforcement,
select the number and size of the bars based on and ie determine pro,
check if the beam crosssection with is tensioncontrolled or not
Provide a sketch for the final design of the crosssection. Use straight edges or a ruler to
draw it
For the calculation of As use the chart below.
