Consider the roof structure of the following gas station:

Derive design equations for the bending reinforcement under positive and negative moments for this
cross-section geometry. Design the corresponding reinforcement in this case. Assume that the roof
should resist its self-weight and a uniform distributed use load of q=1.5 kN/m2 (accounting for
maintenance, rain or snow, etc.). Do not allow any cracks under self-weight and 30% of the additional
load.

Use the following material properties: fck=40 MPa, fyk=500 MPa, fpyk=1690 MPa.

Use the following dimensions. The cross-section is a semi-circle with exterior diameter D= 1 m and
thickness t=0.20 m.
