In design, the objective is to select a suitable cross section, dimensions, concrete strength, etc. given a specific factored design moment. There is one unique answer.

The largest moments in a continuous beam or a frame occur when some spans are loaded with live load and others are not. Influence lines are often used to determine which span should and should not be loaded.

In a one-way slab, the slab strips used for analysis span the long direction of the panel.

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 5 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 2,500 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 = 6.767 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 200.0 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 37.0 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 237.0 kips (tensile force in steel)

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 6 No. 6 bars at a depth of 20 in. The top row contains 4 No. 8 bars at a depth of 14 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 20 in., h = 10 in., and d = 7.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 9 bars. The concrete strength is 5,300 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.242 in., does the reinforcement yield?

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 3,400 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.812 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.

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 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 5.68 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 24 in., d = 21.5 in., and L = 21 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.7 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.5 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.
