Problem #1(30 pts):
Given:
Reinforced concrete beams are composed of both concrete (strong in compression), and steel (equally strong in
both compression and tension).
Your company needs to determine how much a reinforced concrete beam deforms with a 20-kip load, and you
have been assigned to the case.
Both the steel and concrete started with zero stress before the external load is applied.
The length of the beam before the external load is applied is 20 feet.
Steel rebar properties: E=29,000ksi, there are 8 pieces of rebar in the beam, and each solid rebar piece has a
diameter of 0.375-inches.
Concrete beam properties: E=5,000ksi, and it is a 10-inch diameter beam. Hint: Don't forget to subtract the area
of the rebar from the full cross-section to get the cross-section of the concrete.
