is reinforced with 3-25mm diameter bars for tension only. f'c
_________________ 1. Location “y” of the centroid of the tension = 21 MPa, fy = 275 MPa. The tension bars are placed 65 mm
bars from the bottom of the cross section in mm. from the bottom up to its centroid. Use NSCP 2010/2015.
_________________ 2. Depth of the compression block “a” in
mm. _________________ 1. Depth of the compression block “a”.
_________________ 3. Distance “c” from top of beam to N.A in _________________ 2. Distance “c” from top of beam to N.A.
mm. _________________ 3. Actual tension stress in steel in MPa.
_________________ 4. Actual tension stress in steel in MPa. _________________ 4. Strength reduction factor for flexure.
_________________ 5. Centroid of the compression area from _________________ 5. Ultimate moment capacity in kN-m

Situation 2: A rectangular concrete beam has a width of
300mm, an overall depth of 480mm, and an effective depth
of 410mm. The beam is simply supported on a span of 5m
and carries a superimposed dead load of 18kN/m and a live
load of 14 kN/m. Design the beam. f'c = 27.60 MPa and fy =
415MPa. Unit weight of concrete is 23.60 kN/m3. Use NSCP
2010/2015 and round up dimensions to nearest multiple of
50mm. Assume 50mm concrete cover.
_________________ 7. Ultimate actual moment in kN-m.
_________________ 8. Steel ratio / steel percentage.
