Problem 5.Design a rectangular beam reinforced for tension only to carry

dead load moment of 85 kN-m (including its estimated weight) and
a live load of 102 kN-m. Use ρ=0.6 ρb and used = 1.75b. Assume
fy = 276 MPa and f’c = 28 MPa.

Given :
MDL=85 kN −m
MLL=102 kN −m
ρ=0.6 ρb
d=1.75b
f y =276 MPa
'
f c =28 MPa

Solution :
M u=1.2 DL+1.6≪¿
¿ 1.2 ( 85 ) +1.6 ( 102 )
M u=265.2 kN −m

Note :This already includes the weight of the beam
