Question

A concrete floor slab 100 mm thick is cast monolithic with concrete beams 2.0 m on centers. The beams have a span of 4.2 m, web width of 250 mm and overall depth of 450 mm. The tensile reinforcement consists of 4-25 mm diameters bars in two rows with 25 mm vertical clear spacing. Use material strengths f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 415 Mpa.

Calculate the following considering a T-geometry:

  1. Effective flange width of an interior beam in mm
  2. Depth of uniform stress block at ultimate stage in mm to the nearest whole number
  3. Tensile steel strain compatible with concrete strain of 0.003 in 3 decimal places
