Consider a concrete beam as shown in the figure below. The compressive strength of concrete (f) is 4,900 psi. Determine the maximum load 'P' (as shown in the figure) that can be applied before the fracture of the beam. Hint: Use the ACI 318 equation of fr' = 7.5√fc' along with the formula for fr' in terms of Pmax and beam dimensions - assume beam failure in the middle third or "location (1)" as shown in the slides. Width, B = 5 inch P L/3 L/3 L/3 Span Length, L = 18 inch Concrete beam Depth, D 6 inch =
