Assessment Task-1

Task: 1
A singly reinforced concrete beam 300mm wide by 600mm total depth has a span of 6.5m. Find the
necessary tension reinforcement to carry a load of 9.5 KN/m in addition to its self weight. Concrete cover
below the steel center is 35mm. Weight of R.C.C is 25KN/m3.
Consider: Allowable Stree in Steel = 230 N/mm2 ; Allowable Stress in Concerete = 7 N/mm2

Task: 2
Derive the expression to determine beam factor ‘K’, as given below. Use appropriate diagram of Singly
Reinforced Beam Section. ‘K’ is the factor to detemine the neutal axis of beam.

𝐾=
𝑚𝜎𝑐𝑏𝑐 + 𝜎𝑠𝑡
Where:
m= Modular Ratio
𝜎𝑐𝑏𝑐 = 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝐵𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒
𝜎𝑠𝑡 = 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑇𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙

Direction:
