A simply supported steel W-shape beam spans 8 m and supports a factored uniform load of 40 kN/m. The required plastic section modulus (Z) assuming Fy = 345 MPa and φb = 0.90 is most nearly:
Per ASCE 7-16, the LRFD load combination that typically governs for a structure subject to dead load (D), live load (L), and wind load (W) is:
A reinforced concrete beam has b = 300 mm, d = 500 mm, f'c = 28 MPa, fy = 420 MPa, and As = 1,500 mm². Using the ACI 318 rectangular stress block, the nominal moment capacity (Mn) is most nearly:
