Determine the lightweight modification factor, λ, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 22 in., four galvanized No. 9 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the top of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 60 stirrups located every 12 in. along the span. Assume 5,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.

A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 3,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. Determine the strength φMn for this beam.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.2 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.9 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.
