Worked Example 3 :
Consider a simply supported reinforced
concrete beam of 7.5 m span. The beam
dimensions are breadth, b, 275 mm and
effective depth, d, 450 mm; Assuming
the following:
characteristic compressive strength
of concrete f cu 30 N / mm 2;
characteristic strength of reinforcing
steel f y 460 N / mm2 ;
permanent loading is g k 15kN / m ;
variable loading is
k q 8kN / m;
According to BS 8110 calculate required
bending reinforcement for the beam.
