DOUBLY REINFORCED RECTANGULAR BEAMS

1. Determine the theoretical steel areas required for tension of a rectangular section with b = 350 mm, d
= 700 mm under a factored moment of 1,500 kN-m. If compression steel is required, assume it will be
placed 70 mm from the compression fiber of concrete. Use fc’ = 28 Mpa and fy = 420 Mpa.

70mm
2. FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF DRRB. Compute the design moment
strength in positive bending of the following beam section if fy = 3- ∅28mm

420 MPa, fc’ = 21 MPa. Check if maximum permissible As in each 650 mm

case to ensure ductile failure.
