Reinforced Concrete Beam 80,000 psi

Reinforced Concrete Beam 80,000 psi

(OP)
I need to build a rectangular reinforced concrete beam that measures 30" in length, 6" in height, and 6" in width that will withstand a load, in the center of the beam, of 80 ksi. Does anyone have a design that would take that load?

RE: Reinforced Concrete Beam 80,000 psi

There isn't a concrete that I know that will take 80ksi. You even need to go beyond the standard steels to reach that. I've used 100ksi steels but that was for a very specific application and for a client that could afford to pay for it.

Are you sure about the 80ksi or do you mean 80 kips?

Why such a concentrated load?
