Question: Problem 4 . 3 A typical section of the beam and the slab of a part of the floor system is shown in the figure

Problem 4.3 A typical section of the beam and the slab of a part of the floor system is shown in the figure below. The beam having a clear span 6 m carries a uniformly distributed dead load of \(40\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\)(including self-weight) and a uniform live load of \(40\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\). The beam width is restricted to 400 mm and it is reinforced with 10 mm dia. stirrups and 30 mm dia main steel. Assume concrete strength \(\mathrm{fc}^{\prime}=21\mathrm{MPa}\) and the yield stress of steel is \(\mathrm{fy}=350\mathrm{MPa}\) with an E-value of steel as 200 GPa .
a) Find the number of 30 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
