A continuous beam’s flexural reinforcement must extend at least _____ from the point where it is no longer needed to resist tension. Assume f’c = 4,000 psi, fyt = 40,000 psi, b1 = 32 in., b2 = 16 in., d1 = 4 in., d2 = 15 in., and that there are three No. 6 longitudinal tension bars and No. 3 stirrups at 10 in. o.c. The stirrup hooks are 90°.

Determine the casting-position modification factor, ψt, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 23 in., three uncoated No. 8 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 40 stirrups located every 6 in. along the span. Assume 5,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 2 in.
