ASSIGNMENT #5
The reinforced concrete beam shown below is subjected to a uniformly distributed load. The
moment curvature relationship for the negative moment section is given below. If the positive
moment capacity of the beam is equal to 125% of the negative moment capacity:
b) Determine if the beam has enough ductility to develop the plastic load capacity calculated
in part (a). Assume that the plastic hinge length, lp, is equal to the beam depth.
