Design the continuous reinforced concrete (normal weight concrete, NWC) beam ABC shown in Fig. 2. AB segment of the beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of, $w_{1.2D+1.6\mathrm{L}}=5.44^{\mathrm{kip}/\mathrm{ft}}$ and $\mathrm{BC}$ segment of the beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of, $w_{1.2\mathrm{D}+1.6\mathrm{L}}=4.2\mathrm{kip}/\mathrm{tt}$. Use Ultimate Strength Design Method to design the beam. Given that, (a) ${\mathbf{f}}_c=4,000\mathrm{psi},f_y=60,000\mathrm{psi}$ (b) The width of the beam, $b?12$ ". (c) No need to consider the self wt. of the beam. Design the reinforced concrete beam $\mathrm{ABC}$ i.e. (i) Calculate maximum positive and negative moments developed in the continuous beam $\mathrm{ABC}$; (5 points) (ii) Determine the required reinforcements (As) for all the moments (both positive and negative). Also select number and appropriate steel size. (10 points) (iii)Draw longitudinal and cross-sectional detail sketches of the beam showing placement of all
