Question: Problem 2 . 2 A concrete beam 8 m in span carries a superimposed uniformly distributed dead load ( wsDL ) of 1 0 k
Problem A concrete beam m in span carries a superimposed uniformly distributed dead
load wsDL of and a live load wLL of A concentrated live load of kN
also acts at the center of the span as shown below. The beam cross section is
and it is reinforced with dia. bars.
Assume concrete strength MPa and the yield stress of steel is fy MPa with an E
value of steel as GPa Compute the following:
a Find the self weight of the beam in
b Find the modulus of rupture, and the modulus of elasticity of the concrete.
c The gross moment of inertia of the Uncracked section ignoring steel
d Compute the moment at which the beam will crack and find the stress in the concrete
and the steel just prior to cracking. Draw the strain diagram and the stress diagram.
e Find the service dead and live loads and factored dead and live loads.
f Draw the shear and the moment diagram due to factored dead and live loads.
g What is the moment in the beam due to service dead and live loads and factored dead
and live loads The selfweight of the beam has to be included.
