Question: Determine the maximum uniform distributed load w0 that can be supported by the reinforced concrete beam if the allowable tensile stress for the steel is

Determine the maximum uniform distributed load w0 that can be supported by the reinforced concrete beam if the allowable tensile stress for the steel is (σst)allow= 28 ksi and the allowable compressive stress for the concrete is (σconc)allow= 3 ksi. Assume the concrete cannot support a tensile stress. Take Est= 29(103) ksi, Econc= 3.6(103) ksi.
