figure. Reinforce concrete columns are 400 mm square and beams are 350 mm wide, and
600 mm deep spaced 3 m on centers. The beams support a slab 100 mm thick carrying a
superimposed dead load of 7.08 kPa and a live load of 11.93 kPa. Concrete weighs 24
kN/m^3. No live load reduction should be applied to this problem.
What is the maximum factored moment in an interior beam in kN-m assuming simple
supports at both ends? USE 2015 NSCP.
Floor Load:W = 1.2 (SDL + Wslab) + 1.6(LL) =1.2(7.08 + 24*0.1)+1.6(11.93) = 30.464 kPa
Uniform Load: wu = W(s) + 1.2*(Wbeam)
wu = 30.464*3 + 1.2*(24*0.35*(0.6-0.1)) = 96.432 kN/m
Lr = 2.77*(0.25 + 4.57*(1 / sqrt(78)) = 2.126 kPa > Lower limit: 0.5*2.77 = 1.385 (okay)
