Question: 3 . 1 7 A rectangular section with b = 1 4 in . and effec - tive depth d = 2 1 . 5

3.17 A rectangular section with b=14 in . and effec-
tive depth d=21.5in. has 4#10 as tension
reinforcement and 2-#10 as compression rein-
forcement centered 2.5 in . from the face of the
beam. Determine the strength Mn for this sec-
tion. How much can the strength be increased
by adding tension steel only when the case is
governed by ACI-9.3.3.1? At the point where
compression steel is needed to further increase
strength by adding tension steel, what ratio
of As' to As would require to be added? Use
fc'=5000 and ;
d=546mm; tension steel, 4 #32M; compress-
ion steel, 2-#32M centered 63.5 mm from face;
(:fc'=35MPa;fy=400MPa}
3 . 1 7 A rectangular section with b = 1 4 in .
