A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 6 No. 7 bars at a depth of 22 in. The top row contains 4 No. 6 bars at a depth of 16.5 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 7,900 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the tensile force T in the reinforcement.

Reasons for adding compression reinforcement include which of the following?

One of the four primary reasons for using compression reinforcement in beams is decreased cost.

Reinforced concrete beams are rarely continuous over several supports.

You have a used CD store. At an estate sale, you can purchase 230 compact discs for $356.5. You believe you could sell the CDs for an average of $3.05 each. What is the net benefit of buying the CDs at the estate sale and selling them in your store?

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 4,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 10,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

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 1.3 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.1 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.
