A reinforced concrete beam of normal weight concrete with an effective depth of 20 IN and a width of 12 IN is reinforced with 3 IN2 of grade 60 (fy = 60 KSI) rebar. The beam has a concrete compressive strength f’c of 3000 PSI.

(a) Determine the maximum ultimate moment which can be applied to the beam.

(b) If the only dead load on the beam is self-weight, determine the allowable uniformly distributed live load which can be applied to the beam. Assume an 18 FT span (simply supported) and 2.5 IN of cover over the reinforcement.
