You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 7,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?
