Description
A beam cross-section is limited to the size shown. Determine the required area of
reinforcement for a factored moment M u = 516 ft-kips (6,192 in-kips).
f c' =4,000 psi, f y =60,000 psi.

Verification Example
The maximumu Rnt for tension-controlled sections of 4,000 psi concrete : Rnt = 911
Find the normal strength moment M nt resisted by the concrete section without compression
'
reinforcement, and M n to be resisted by the compression reinforcement.
