Singly-Reinforced Concrete Beam: Investigation
Instructions: Read the given problem below. You may write it in a clean and plane bond paper (but it
should be in the same layout with this file – with boarder and header) or you may print this one. Take a
picture of your answer. Upload it to our Moodle Classroom.
INVESTIGATION (Use NSCP 2001)
Problem: Given a rectangular beam having a width of 280 mm and an effective depth of 500mm. the
beam is reinforced for tension only with a steel area of 4000mm2. Compressive strength of concrete
f’c = 25 MPa, steel strength fy = 400 MPa.
d =500
b = 280
a. Find the ultimate moment capacity of the beam section.
b. Find the uniform ultimate load that the beam can carry in a simple span of 6m.
c. Describe the mode of design.
