Determine the transverse reinforcement index, Ktr, for a rectangular beam with b = 17 in. and d = 20 in., three epoxy-coated No. 6 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 40 stirrups located every 12 in. along the span. Assume 8,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.5 in.
