Question
A 6-m long restrained beam is carrying an ultimate load of 98 kN per meter throughout the span. The beam section is 250 mm wide and 550 mm deep. The beam will use concrete whose strength is 20.7 MPa and steel reinforcement whose yield strength is 280 MPa. The concrete cover to be used is 50 mm as it is exposed to weather. The main reinforcement to be used is 28 mm in diameter, while the shear reinforcement is 10 mm in diameter. Using ultimate strength design and consider one layer of reinforcement Determine the number of main reinforcements at the midspan in tension.
