The use of compression reinforcement permits the use of more tension reinforcement to decrease the strength of a given beam section while keeping the section compression-controlled.

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 9 No. 6 bars at a depth of 16 in. The top row contains 7 No. 7 bars at a depth of 12 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.
