A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 14 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?

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 2,500 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 17 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.1 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.1 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.
