SINGLY REINFORCED BEAMS
Problem 1
A reinforced concrete simply supported beam with a
span of 6 m has the following details:
Width of beam (b) = 250 mm
f’c = 35 MPa
Total depth (h) = 425 mm
fy = 415 MPa
Effective depth = 360 mm
γc = 23.5 KN/m3
a) Determine the largest live load it can carry if
the beam is reinforced at the tension side only,
using NSCP 2001 specifications if As = 1625.85
mm2.
b) Determine the largest live load it can carry if
the beam is reinforced at the tension side only,
using NSCP 2010/2015 specifications if As =
1625.85 mm2.
c) Determine the largest live load it can carry if the
beam is reinforced at the tension side only, using
NSCP 2001 specifications if As = 2152.68 mm2.
d) Determine the largest live load it can carry if
the beam is reinforced at the tension side only,
using NSCP 2010/2015 specifications if As =
2152.68 mm2.
Using NSCP 2015:
1. What is the maximum moment at ultimate
condition?
2. Find the number of 16mm dia. bars required if the
design moment at ultimate load is 200 KN-m.

Problem 1
A reinforced concrete beam with a total depth of 425
mm and width of 300 mm is reinforced at the tension
with 4-28 mm bars and 2-28 mm bars at the
compression, shear reinforcement is 10 mm diameter
stirrups, fc’ = 28 MPa, fy=415 MPa. Using NSCP
2001 specifications and using NSCP 2010
specifications. Determine the ultimate moment

Problem 2
A reinforced concrete beam with a total depth of 425
mm and width of 300 mm is reinforced at the tension
with 4-25 mm bars and 2-25 mm bars at the
compression, shear reinforcement is 10 mm diameter
stirrups, fc’ = 28 MPa, fy=415 MPa. Using NSCP
2001 specifications and using NSCP 2010
/2015.specifications. Determine the ultimate moment
capacity.

Problem 2
A 12m simply supported beam is provided by an
additional support at midspan. The beam has a width
of b= 300mm and a total depthh = 450mm. It is
reinforced with 4 – 25mm dia. at the tension side and
2 – 25mm dia. at the compression side with 70mm
cover to centroid of reinforcements. fc’ = 30 MPa,
fy = 415 MPa. Use NSCP 2015 PROVISIONS
Problem 3
Determine the amount of reinforcement required to
resist a Factored Moment of 800 kN-m, if b=350 mm,
h=600mm, effective cover of 70mm, fc’=28MPa,
fy=415 MPa. Use ρmax=0.75ρb, and strength
reduction factor for flexure of 0.90.

1. Determine the depth of compression block.

2. Determine the nominal bending moment.

3. Determine the total factored uniform load

including the beam’s weight.

Problem 3
Beam section is b = 300mm, h = 450 mm. Effective
depth is 380 mm. Compressive strength of
concrete fc’ = 30 MPa, steel strength fy = 415 MPa.
The beam is simply supported on a span of 5m and
carries the following loads:
Superimposed dead load = 16 KN/m, live load = 14
KN/m.
