Design of Structures I (RCC) : Tutorial Problems

Tutorial 2 : Singly Reinforced Rectangular Beams using LSM

1. Draw stress-strain curve for concrete. Also for M20 grade concrete, calculate stress in concrete for the
following strain values:
a) = 0.003 b) = 0.00146

2. Calculate and plot factored stress-strain curve for Fe500 grade steel.

3. For Fe500 grade steel, calculate factored stress in steel for the following strains:
a) = 0.0008 b) = 0.00146 c) = 0.00246 d) = 0.005

4. Prepare a table for the values of neutral axis constant, moment of resistance factor and percentage of steel
for all combinations involving M20, M25, Fe250, Fe415 and Fe500.

5. Calculate Mulim and Astlim for the following data:
