Question 51
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
A simply-supported rectangular reinforced concrete beam has a width 250 mm and an overall depth 600 mm. The effective span of the beam is 6.23 m. The beam carries a live load of 5 kN/m and a super imposed dead load of 5 kN/m, in addition to its own weight. The unit weight of reinforced concrete is 25 kN/m³. Consider the load factor of 1.5 for all stated loads.
The design bending moment (in kN-m) for the limit state of collapse is ______ (rounded off to two decimal places).
