Problem 4: A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and an effective depth of 618 mm. Compressive reinforcement (if required) will be placed at d’ = 60mm. f’c = 25 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. The beam is to support a factored bending moment of 520 kN-m. φ=0.90. Use 2010/2015 NSCP. Determine the governing steel ratio following NSCP requirements.
