A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 9 No. 7 bars at a depth of 24 in. The top row contains 5 No. 8 bars at a depth of 20 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 20 in., h = 10 in., and d = 7.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 9 bars. The concrete strength is 3,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.371 in., does the reinforcement yield?

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.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.2 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.9 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 14 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?
