Question: Situation 2 . Refer to the figure. A rectangular beam is reinforced with 4 - 2 8 m m diameter tension bars and 1 0

Situation 2. Refer to the figure. A rectangular beam is reinforced with 4-28mm diameter
tension bars and 10mm diameter stirrups. The beam has a total depth of 600mm.fc'=21
MP,fy=420MPa and fyt =280MPa. Clear concrete cover is 40mm. Specified maximum
aggregate size in the mixture is 20mm. Use U=1.2D+1.6L. Use =0.75 for shear and
=0.90 for bending.
Determine the minimum width (mm) of the beam that will be adequate to carry a factored
bending moment of 420kN-m, without needing the compression bars.
A.290mm
C.350mm
B.300mm
D.340mm
Determine the minimum width (mm) of the beam that will be adequate to carry a factored
shear Vu of 275kN, if stirrups are spaced at 100mm.
A.375mm
C.300mm
B.325mm
D.275mm
Determine the minimum width (mm) of the beam that will be adequate to comply with clear spacing and minimum cover requirements.
A.287mm
C.296mm
B.324mm
D.)268mm
