A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 6,400 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the compressive stress block is a = 0.945378 in. and the strain in the reinforcement is εs = 0.042172, determine the strength φMn for this beam. Assume the transverse reinforcement is not spirals.

A two-month old boy presents for his well child exam, but mom’s primary concern is his crying and fussiness throughout the day, especially in the evenings. His mother is convinced it is his milk-based formula (Similac Advance) which he has been on for the past 3 weeks as he has weaned off breast milk. Everything else on history & a complete exam is within normal limits. Answer the next two (2) questions based on this case. If the new formula for the baby doesn’t make any difference in his symptoms, your next step is:

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)
