Question 1: A T-beam with uneven overhangs is constructed monolithically with the two columns used to support the beam. The columns are 400mm400mm in cross section, and the beam resists a uniformly distributed factored load of wf=80kNm. The corresponding factored shear force and bending moment diagram are given below.
Assume the beam is not exposed and use the beam cross-section given with an assumed effective depth d=540mm.fc'=35MPa and fy=400MPa.
[25 marks](1a) design the beam for flexure and show your required reinforcement using an appropriate sketch(es) of the cross-section. Remember to check cover and bar spacing requirements (this includes checking the serviceability requirement for cracking).
[2 marks](1b) Explain why the moment at the two support faces of each column are not equal (ie.129.6221.6 and 366.8313.6).
