You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 8,500 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 9 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 12 in., and d = 9.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 3,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 2.137 in., does the reinforcement yield?

After Dante heard the ping on his cell phone, he quickly scrolled to his messages. What effect did the antecedent have on behavior?  

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 10 No. 5 bars at a depth of 14 in. The top row contains 8 No. 7 bars at a depth of 9 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 4 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 3,700 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.481 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 8,200 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 3,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the strength Mn for this beam.

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 14 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 27.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 4 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 3,700 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. For the results given below, determine the strength Mn for this beam.a = 3.809 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 165.8 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 23.8 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 189.6 kips (tensile force in steel)
