The ordinates of rainfall mass curve of a storm over a basin of area 850 km2 measured in mm at 1 hour intervals are 0, 10, 22, 30, 39, 45.5, 50, 55.5, 60, 64 and 68. If the infiltration during this storm can be represented by horton’s equation with fo=6.5 mm/hr, fc=1.5 mm/hr and k=0.15 /hr. Estimate the resulting runoff volume.

A simply supported beam is required to carry a moment of 50 kip-ft across a 25' span. Assuming that 4 and 8 ksi concrete are available, with a cost difference of 30 percent. Use 60 ksi steel. Beam width is fixed at 12 inches. You can Vary h.
a)design the beam using 2 different concretes - dont forget beta is different.
In: Civil Engineering
This question is referring to a concrete beam with steel rebar reinforcement,
For a simply supported beam with width 10 inches and depth 14 inches design the steel to resist a maximum moment of 50 kip feet. span=15 feet. Concrete 4 ksi. steel is 60 ksi.
