Problem: Designasinglyreinforcedbeamtocarrytheloadsshown.

PDL= 28 kN PU= 97.6 kN

PLL= 40 kN
wDL= 6 kN/m
wLL= 10 kN/m wU= 23.2 kN/m fc'= 20.7 Mpa
fy= 276.5 Mpa

beamwidth= 0.30 m
span= 6 Mpa
6 m

Solution:
1. Computeminimumthickness(NSCPTable4091)

L fy
h 0.40 = 6000 0.4 + 276.5 = 298 mm
16 700 16 700

2. Computefactoredloads

Pu=1.2PDL+1.6PLL = 97.60 kN/m

wu=1.2wDL+1.6wLL = 23.20 kN/m
