IN-TEXT ACTIVITY

1. Design a 350 mm x 500 mm rectangular beam to resist a factored moment of 630 KN-m.
Assumed concrete cover measured from bar centroid to 70 mm in compression and 80 mm in
tension. f'c = 27.6 Mpa and fy = 345 Mpa.
2. Given : Mu = 790 KN-m b = 375 mm h = 600 mm f’c =27.5 Mpa fy = 414 Mpa. Steel cover in both
tension and compression at bar centroid = 100 mm. Find steel area required.
3. Given: b = 350 mm compression cover to bar centroid = 60 mm, effective depth d = 600 mm, f’c
= 20.7 Mpa fy = 345 Mpa, Compression bar = 2-28 mm dia and tension bars to be 4-36 mm dia.
Find the moment capacity of the beam.
4. Given: b = 350 mm compression cover to bar centroid = 63 mm, effective depth d = 600 mm, f’c
= 20.7 Mpa fy = 345 Mpa, Compression bar area = 775 mm2 and tension bar area = 3635 mm2.
Find the moment capacity of the beam.
