Design the numbers of reinforcing bars required for negative and positive moment that can be utilized for an overhanging beam with service loads (DL + LL) excluding weight of the beam 40 kN/m loading. The distance separating the supports hinge and roller is 7.20 m while from the roller to the free end is 1.8 m. The given dimensions for the beam are breadth b = 300 mm and depth d = 550 mm. The strengths of the concrete and steel are fc' = 20.70 Mpa, and fs = 138 Mpa, respectively. The overhang is only on one side.
