A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 6,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the compressive stress block is a = 1.121022 in. and the strain in the reinforcement is εs = 0.039865, determine the strength φMn for this beam. Assume the transverse reinforcement is not spirals.

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.

Which of the following is a basic assumption in flexure theory?

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 7,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the compressive stress block is a = 0.554622 in. and the strain in the reinforcement is εs = 0.078407, determine the strength φMn for this beam. Assume the transverse reinforcement is not spirals.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 4,300 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

The moment-curvature relationship is linear up to the crushing point and is referred to as the cracked-elastic range.

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 3,700 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.
