For Problems 2.1 to 2.

5 determine the cracking moments for the sections shown if fc=4000 psi
and fr=7.5(fc)^0.5

For Problems 2.6 and 2.7, calculate the uniform load (in addition to the beam weight) that will
cause the sections to begin to crack if they are used for 28-ft simple spans fc=4000 psi, fr=
7.5(fc)^0.5 and reinforced concrete weight = 150 lb/ft3.
2.6



b=14 in = 350 mm
h=24 in = 600 mm
p=150 lb/ft3 *(3.28^3)(9.81)/(2.204)= 23.553 KN/m3
L=28 ft = 8.54 m
fc=4000 psi=27.58 MPa 28 MPa

For Problems 2.8 to 2.14, assume the sections have cracked and use transformed-area method
to compute their flexural stresses for loads or moments given.
