A beam 281 mm wide and effective depth 511 mm carries a factored uniformly distributed load of 66 kN/m including its own weight, in addition to a concentrated factored load of 48 kN at midspan. It spans 5.06 m face to face of simple supports.  It is reinforced with ρ = 0.67 ρbal for positive bending.  Use f’c = 32 MPa and fy = 414 MPa.   Calculate the D/C ratio in percentage (%) for the particular beam.
