A 300mm by 600mm rectangular beam is subjected to uniform ultimate load of Wu=200kN/m over the whole span. The beam is simply supported over a span of 4m. The reinforcements are 2-28 mm diameter compression reinforcement and 4-28 mm diameter tension reinforcement. Use f'c=21MPa, fy=415MPa, stirrups=10mm, and cc=40mm. Calculate the maximum positive moment in the beam in kN.m. and the ultimate moment capacity of the beam section in kN.m.
