Intro to Reinforced Concrete Design for Beginners!

Hi guys! I hope you find this video helpful! I plan to slowly introduce the concepts of concrete design on this channel based on CSA A23.3. We cover specified compressive strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity in this video. The following question is covered.

A simply supported unreinforced concrete test beam spanning 2.4 m fails under the following loaded configuration as shown. This beam is made of normal density concrete. Neglect the self-weight of the concrete beam. Determine:

The modulus of rupture ( fr )
The specified compressive strength ( fc' )
The modulus of elasticity ( Ec )

If you have any recommendations for future problems, or have suggestion for tutorials in the future, feel free to leave a comment!
