Question
Compute for the nominal strength for the rectangular section beams having the
following specifications:
Beam Beam Width
Beam Depth
f'c/fy
No. of Bars
12"
20"
3,500 psi / 40,000 psi
3 pcs. - No. 7
14"
22"
4,500 psi/ 60,000 psi
4 pcs. - No. 8
14"
24"
4,000 psi / 40,000 psi
4 pcs. - No. 8
Assume that you have a concrete cover of 2.5" (up to the stirrup and half of main bar
diameter)
Check for the ACI specifications/provisions.
Which of the beams that gives the highest nominal strength?
Draw the beam details using the ACI code.
Write your solutions properly and indicate your final answer with a box.
