Module No. 1: Problem No. 1 (Topic: Working Stress Design)
Design a section of a concrete beam reinforced for tension only. The beam is
simply supported on a span of 6 m and carries a load of 18KN/m, including its own
weight. Use ACI specifications with fc=17.2 Mpa, fs=124 Mpa, n=12. Assume b=0.5d.
Compute the effective depth of the beam and the number of steel bars needed (use 25
mm).
n=10
As=3-25 mm
b=300 mm
d=400 mm
fc=28 Mpa
