Question: Situation 3 : The beam shown will carry a dead load of 1 5 k N m ( includes beam weight ) and a live

Situation 3: The beam shown will carry a dead
load of 15kNm(includes beam weight) and a
live load of 30kNm. The main span is 6m and
the cantilever span is 2.5m. The size of the
beam will be determined. Assume no deflection
limitation, and without using compression steel.
Assume an effective concrete cover of 58mm.
Important note: Apply live load in the locations
and distributions that will cause the most severe
effects; spans may be fully loaded, partially
loaded, or unloaded, as necessary to obtain
maximum effects. Use fc'=30MPa and
fy =420MPa.
Calculate the maximum positive moment
(kN-m) that can occur in the beam.
