A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 27.5 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 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 5.68 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.
