6. A T-beam has effective flange width of 30 in., web width of 14 in., slab
thickness 4 in., and effective depth to the steel centroid of 20 in. If
steel having a yield stress of 60,000 psi is used with concrete of f' =
4,000 psi, what is the design moment strength, Mn, of the beam for
the following alternative tensile-steel areas: (a) As = 3 No. 11 bars and
(b) As = 6 No. 11 bars?

7. A tensile-reinforced T-beam is to be designed to carry a uniformly
distributed service load on a 20-ft. simple span. The total factored
moment at midspan due to all loads is 6,240 in-kips. Concrete
dimensions, as governed by web shear and clearance considerations,
are b = 20 in., bw = 10 in., hf = 5 in., and d = 20 in. If fy = 60,000 psi
and f' = 4,000 psi, what tensile reinforcement is required at midspan?

9. Design the web reinforcement for the beam of Problem 8: (a) No. 3
stirrups with fy = 60,000 psi and (b) No. 4 stirrups with f y = 60,000 psi.
Compare the total weight of web reinforcement for these two
alternative designs. What is your recommendation for the final
design?
Development Length
10. The continuous beam is reinforced top and bottom with No. 8 bars.
Find development length for positive and negative reinforcement and
the cut-off points according to 2011 ACI Code. f' = 4,000 psi and fy =
60,000 psi.
Column
11. A column 18 in. square is reinforced with four No. 11 bars. The
minimum distance from the centroid of a bar to the concrete surface is
2.5 in., f' = 5 ksi, and fy = 60 ksi. If the column is axially loaded
(design eccentricity e = 0), find Pu.
Footing
15. Design a footing for a 22-in. by 22-in. square column. The column has
eight No. 8 bars arranged symmetrically and is subjected to concentric
3
dead and live loads of 372 kips and 117 kips, respectively. The bottom
of the footing should be 4 ft. from the ground surface. The weight of
soil is 120 pcf, and the allowable soil bearing capacity is 3 tons per
square foot. fy = 60,000 psi and f' = 6,000 psi for column and 3,000
psi for footing.
