Standard residential loads where beam size isn't restricted. Economy: More cost-effective as it uses less steel. Doubly Reinforced Beams Steel location: Both top and bottom of the beam.
When a load is applied to a singly reinforced beam, the goal is to ensure that the beam fails in a "tension failure" mode. This means the steel yields (stretches) before the concrete crushes. This is a desirable failure mode because it is ductile; the structure shows visible signs of distress (cracks and deflection) long before it collapses, allowing for evacuation or repair.
