Calculation

Q1

A simply supported rectangular beam of 8 m span carries characteristic dead load

(not include self-weight of beam), Gk and imposed, Qk load of 20kN/m and
10kN/m. The design properties is a characteristic strength of concrete is
2
2
30 N/mm , the characteristic strength of reinforcement is 460 N/mm , the
2
characteristic strength of links is 250 N/mm . 1.5 hour of fire resistant and the
condition of expose equal to mild condition is needed. Estimate the size of beam
and design all reinforcement including the necessary checking.

Satu rasuk disokong mudah mempunyai rentang 8 m dikehendaki

menanggung beban mati ciri (tidak termasuk berat sendiri) sebesar 20 kN/m dan
beban kenaan sebesar 10 kN/m di sepanjang rentang. Bahan binaan terdiri dari
konkrit gred 30 dan keluli gred 460 untuk tetulang utama dan keluli gred 250
untuk perangkai. Keadaan dedahan rasuk adalah ringan dan rintangan api
1.5 jam diperlukan. Anggarkan saiz keratan rasuk yang sesuai dan
rekabentukkan semua tetulang yang diperlukan
