Assignment 3 - Solution

This document contains the solutions to four questions for Assignment 3 in a reinforced concrete design course. Question 1 asks about calculating the balanced reinforcement ratio for a beam, when the balanced condition occurs, and how it is useful. Question 2 asks to find the factored moment resistance for a precast concrete beam section. Question 3 increases the steel reinforcement and asks to recalculate the moment resistance and failure mode. Question 4 asks to find the moment resistance for a reinforced concrete T-beam section.

Assignment 3 Solution CVL500 Dr.

Moradi / Ryerson University

Note:

• In all the questions, for finding Mr, use mechanics-based equations (like
equilibrium) - do not use the Kr tables in the concrete design handbook unless
otherwise stated.
• Use Table A.1:

Question A3-1.
a) Calculate the balanced reinforcement ratio for a rectangular beam section with
𝑓𝑐′ = 30 𝑀𝑃𝑎 and 𝑓𝑦 = 400 𝑀𝑃𝑎.
b) When does the balanced condition occur in reinforced concrete flexural
members?
c) How is the balanced reinforcement ratio useful in the design of flexural
members? Explain.

Question A3-2.

A typical section of a precast concrete beam with 100 mm by 100 mm cuts at the
corners is shown in the figure below. Use an effective depth of 590 mm. The material
properties are summarized below. Find the factored moment resistance for the beam
section.

𝑓𝑐′ = 30 𝑀𝑃𝑎
𝑓𝑦 = 400 𝑀𝑃𝑎
𝜙𝑐 = 0.65
𝜙𝑠 = 0.85
𝐸𝑠 = 200 000 𝑀𝑃𝑎
