Determine the transverse reinforcement index, Ktr, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 22 in., four epoxy-coated No. 9 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 60 stirrups located every 12 in. along the span. Assume 7,000-psi lightweight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.

Compute the axial compressive strength Pn and moment capacity Mn of the following tied column when the largest strain in the concrete is 0.003 and the strain in the tension reinforcement is 0.003. Note that you should not include φ in the answer and that you should not consider Pn,max.b = 12 in.h = 20 in.Clear cover to ties = 1.5 in.Number of longitudinal bars = 6Size of longitudinal bars = No. 6Size of ties = No. 4Concrete strength = 9,000 psiYield strength of longitudinal bars = 60,000 psiYield strength of ties = 60,000 psi
