Question: Problem 1 The beam section shown below is subjected to positive bending. The beam is constructed with normal weight concrete and Grade 6 0 steel

Problem 1
The beam section shown below is subjected to positive bending. The beam is constructed with normal weight concrete and Grade 60 steel reinforcement. The concrete cover is 1.5 in thick. No.4 bars are used as ties (transverse reinforcement). Concrete cylinder compressive strength is fc'=5000 psi. The yielding strength of the reinforcing bars is fy=60 ksi.
(1) Determine the cracking moment Mcr and the corresponding curvature cr.
(2) Determine concrete stress at the top face at Mrr.
(3) Determine stress of the reinforcing bars at Mcr.
Problem 1 The beam section shown below is
