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. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.199 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 9 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

A force of P = 23 N is applied to a lever at the end of a composite shaft. Sleeve (1) has a polar moment of inertia of 79,900 mm4 and a shear modulus of 1.6 GPa. Core (2) has a polar moment of inertia of 23,000 mm4 and a shear modulus of 2.0 GPa. Determine the torque produced in sleeve (1). Let a = b = 240 mm.
