A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. It is reinforced with four No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,100 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam).

Determine the size modification factor, ψs, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 23 in., three galvanized No. 6 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the top of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 40 stirrups located every 12 in. along the span. Assume 8,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 2 in.
