Assignment 2

The document provides specifications for a reinforced concrete beam that is to be analyzed, including its cross-sectional dimensions and properties, reinforcement details, and loading conditions. Students are asked to: 1) Calculate the maximum uniform live load the beam can support while satisfying serviceability requirements. 2) Determine the beam's crack width under a 30 kN/m live load. 3) Check the beam's instantaneous and long-term deflections under a 30 kN/m live load.

A reinforced concrete beam has the shown cross-sectional properties at the location of maximum
moment.

The beam is to be used as a simply-supported floor interior beam with a clear span of 6 m. It is loaded with a
total dead load of 20 kN/m (superimposed dead-load + the self-weight of the beam = 20 kN/m)

bf
bf = 800 mm
hf = 80 mm
bw = 300 mm hf
h = 600 mm
𝑓 = 35 𝑀𝑃𝑎 𝜆=1 𝛾 = 24
Maximum aggregate size 14 mm
h 10 mm GFRP
Longitudinal reinforcement Stirrups
𝑓 = 1000 𝑀𝑃𝑎
𝐸 = 60 𝐺𝑃𝑎 6-20 mm GFRP
bw
Side and bottom clear covers to stirrup = 40 mm
Clear spacing between layers = 40 mm
Portion of sustained live load = 20%
Exposure type: Interior Exposure.
The beam is not supporting or attached to non-structural elements likely to be damaged by large deflections.

Assuming that the section satisfies the ultimate state requirements, it is required to:
1) Calculate the maximum uniform live load (in kN/m) that the section can withstand to satisfy the
serviceability requirements of CSA S806-12 (FRP stress under service loads, FRP strain under
sustained load, and z-value).

2) Assuming a uniform live load of 30 kN/m, determine the section’s crack width under service loads as
per CSA S806-12.

3) Assuming a uniform live load of 30 kN/m, check the instantaneous and long-term deflection as per CSA
S806-12.
