Q1. A simply supported rectangular beam has a total cross section of 10
x 16 in. and a length of 20 ft. It is reinforced with four No. 5 bars in one
row. The distances from the centers of the bars to the lower surface of
the beam is 2.5 in. f, = 2500 psi and f, = 20000 psi. What is the resisting
moment of the beam?
Q2. If a concentrated load of 3500 Ib were placed on the beam of
problem 1 at a distance of 7 ft from the support, what would be the
maximum unit stress in the concrete and the maximum unit stress in the
steel?
Q3. A simply supported rectangular beam with a span of 17 ft supports a
live load which varies uniformly in amount from zero at the left support to
1000 pif at the right support. With f', = 2500 psi and f, = 24000 psi,
design the beam.
Q4, A simply supported rectangular beam with a span of 18 ft supports a
uniform live load of 975 pif and a concentrated load of 3000 ib at the
middle of the span. With f. = 3000 psi and f, = 24000 psi, dete-mine the
required steel area.

Behavior of Flow Profiles at Specific Depths
Let us now consider the theoretical behavior of the Mow profiles at some specific depths.
i) When h + h,, E9.(6,18) shows that dh/dx ~» 0, ic. the flow profile approaches the normal
depth line tangentially.
ii) When h ~> h,, E9.(6.18) shows that di/dx —., i.c. the flow profile becomes vertical in
crossing the critical depth Tine. This indicates a hydraulic jump if the depth changes suddenly froma
Tower value to a higher value or a hydraulic drop if the depth changes abruptly from a higher value
1a lower value. 11 both cases the flow becomes rapidly varied and the theory of gradually varied
flow does not apply.
iii) When h -> 0, Eq.(6.18) shows that dh/dx — S,, i.e. the flow profile tends to be horizontal.
‘Note that the slope of the channel bottom Sp is determined with respect to the horizontal line,
Whereas the slope of the flow profile dhidx is determined with respect (0 the channel bottorn
Therefore, the flow profile, whose slope i hid Sp with respect othe channel otter, ust be
orizontal
