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 = 27 in., b2 = 11 in., d1 = 6 in., d2 = 17 in., and that there are three No. 6 longitudinal tension bars and No. 3 stirrups at 7 in. o.c. The stirrup hooks are 90°.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 27.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 4 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 5.68 in., determine the strain in the compression reinforcement, ε’s.
