A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 25.5 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 4,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. For the results given below, determine the strength Mn for this beam.a = 3.569 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 167.8 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 21.8 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 189.6 kips (tensile force in steel)

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 5,500 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth to the neutral surface is c = 2.80342 in., determine the strain in the reinforcement.
