DCS Unit 1 Assignment (Working Stress method )

1). A rectangular beam of 300 mm width and 500 mm effective depth is reinforced
with 4 x 16 mm dia tension bars. determine the stress induced in the top
compression fiber of the concrete and tension Steel when it is subjected to a
moment of 50 knm consider m20 concrete

2).Determine the moment of resistance of a singly reinforced beam 160 mm wide

and 300 mm effective depth the reinforcement consists of 4 bars of 16mm dia the
material used is M15 concrete and Fe250 Steel take m=18 if the span of the beam
is 5 metre find the maximum distributed load which beam can carry inclusive of its
own weight.

3). A rectangular beam of width 350 mm is subjected to a uniformly distributed

load of 15 kN/m and effective span of 8 metre determine the depth required for the
beam and also calculate the area of tensile reinforcement required use M20
concrete and Fe250 Steel.

Note- submit the assignment before 25/11/2021
