Problem

A reinforced concrete beam with an effective depth of 600 mm and reinforced with 4 bars of 32 mm diameter is given. The moment capacity is to be calculated. The beam material properties of f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 275 MPa are provided. The calculations involve determining the modular ratio, allowable stresses, steel area, moment of inertia, and moment capacity based on concrete and steel. The final moment capacity is found to be 187.51 kN-m.

Problem

A reinforced concrete beam 300 mm wide has an effective depth of 600 mm. It is reinforced
with 4-32 mm diameter bars for tension. f’c = 21 MPa and fy = 275 MPa. Find the moment
capacity of the beam.
