A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 18 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. It is reinforced with five No. 5 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 6,400 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. Determine the strength φMn for this beam.

Determine the size modification factor, ψs, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 21 in., three galvanized No. 8 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 60 stirrups located every 6 in. along the span. Assume 8,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.
