For the singly-reinforced beam shown below, determine the concrete and steel stresses at the location of the maximum positive and negative moments. Use: modular ratio = 9. Has the beam already cracked? If the allowable concrete stresses are: concrete = 9MPa and steel = 138MPa, could this beam resist the maximum stresses experienced by the beam without failure?

Problem 2. A concrete beam is reinforced by three steel rebars placed as shown. The modulus of elasticity is 3x106 psi for concrete and 29x106 psi for steel. Find the tensile stress in rebars and maximum compressive stress in concrete under an external bending moment of (a) 80 kip.in and (b) 240 kip.in. Given the compressive strength of concrete fe' = 3 ksi and yield stress of rebars fy = 60 ksi, discuss the state of crack in concrete and...

For the same singly-reinforced (reinforcement in tension only) concrete section used in Homework 3, we want to investigate the impact of using a parabolic semi-segment for the shape of the concrete stress-strain curve in the determination of the ultimate capacity of the beam. Note that steel stress-strain behavior will be modeled using elasto-plastic model. The properties of the materials are s"-4500 psi for the concrete and Jy -60 ksi for the reinforcement. Using this type of behavior leads to the...
10. A beam cross-section is limited to the size shown below. Determine the required area of reinforcement for service load moments Mp-430 ft-kip and M 175 ft-ki ksi. Note that the beam self weight is already included in the dead load moment. Assume that c 0.6c for the singly-reinforced part of the section (for your initial guess). Hint: first calculate the nominal moment resisted by the concrete section without compression steel. Check the strength only p.f -4,000 psi and f,-60...
Design a reinforced concrete beam that has a rectangular cross section with a width b = 24 in. The depth h is limited by architectural reasons to 16 in. It has to carry a factored moment Mu = 360 kip- ft. including the self-weight. The design should satisfy ACI 318 for tension controlled members. Use Grade 60 steel and a specified concrete compressive strength = 4,000 psi. Determine the flexural reinforcement for the beam, and use compression steel if needed....
