Question
A triangular beam having a base width
of 390 mm has a total depth of 783
mm. It is reinforced with 5-16mm bars
placed at 70mm (steel cover) above
the bottom of the beam. f'c-24.85
MPa, fy=275 MPa. Use fc (allow) =
0.45f'c and fs(allow) = 0.5fy. Use unit
weight of concrete = 24 kN/m³.
Calculate the maximum uniform live
load that the beam can carry for a
simple span of 5.23 meters. Use WSD.
