Determine the transverse reinforcement index, Ktr, for a rectangular beam with b = 17 in. and d = 23 in., four uncoated No. 8 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 40 stirrups located every 8 in. along the span. Assume 6,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.5 in.
