A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. It is reinforced with five No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 5,200 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.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., d = 19.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.466667 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.3 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with three No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 8,500 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 74.37 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 88.53 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 3.783 in.

Use ACI 318-14 Table 25.4.2.2 to determine the development length for the straight tension bars (no hooks) in a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 24 in., five galvanized No. 6 Grade 60 bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 40 stirrups located every 6 in. along the span. Assume 8,000-psi lightweight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.
