Determine the transverse reinforcement index, Ktr, for a rectangular beam with b = 18 in. and d = 24 in., five epoxy-coated No. 6 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the top of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 60 stirrups located every 6 in. along the span. Assume 5,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.5 in.

Determine the size modification factor, ψs, for a rectangular beam with b = 17 in. and d = 24 in., five epoxy-coated No. 9 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 60 stirrups located every 8 in. along the span. Assume 7,000-psi lightweight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.
