Next, well calculate d, the depth from the extreme compression fiber to the center of reinforcement in the tensile zone.
d = h Clear Spacing dstirrup dreinforcement/2
d = 24 1.5 0.5 - .75/2
d = 21.625

fs = stress in the steel (we make the assumption that the steel yields, and will later
confirm if it does).

Solve for a:
Now that we know the depth of the stress block, we can calculate c, the depth to the
neutral axis.
a = 1.294
