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.

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 10,000 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?
