A rectangular concrete beam has a width 300 mm and an effective depth of 550mm. the beam is simply supported over a span of 6m and is used to carry a uniform dead load 25 Kn/m and a uniform live load of 40 Kn/m assumes for fc= 21 MPa and fy=312 MPa. Compression reinforcement if necessary shall be placed at a depth of 80mm from the outermost compression concrete. -Determine the maximum tension steel area in sq. mm. -Determine the no. of 25mm dia. bars
