Problem 3.3 A typical cross section of a reinforced concrete beam 6 m in span carries a
superimposed uniformly distributed dead load (wSDL) of 5kNm and a uniform live load (wLL) of
35kNm. The beam cross section is 400mm600mm and it is reinforced with 10 mm dia.
stirrups. Assume concrete strength fc'=30MPa and the yield stress of steel is fy=400MPa with
an E-value of steel as 200 GPa and the unit weight of concrete is 24kNm3.
a) Find the number of 25 mm dia tension bars required to support the given load and confirm that
the design meets all the pertinent ACI 318 code requirements.
b) Provide a design summary
