A rectangular beam is being designed for a factored moment Mu=162ft.- kips. The beam has been sized as a 15in. wide by 25in. deep beam, and the required area of GFRP flexural reinforcement has been computed as Af,reqd=2.30 in ?2 Determine an arrangement of flexural reinforcement that satisfies crack control requirements. Assume bottom clear cover to the flexural reinforcement (cc) of 2.0 in.(1.5 in. clear cover +0.5 in. stirrup diameter). Assume side clear cover to the flexural reinforcement (cc,side) of 2.5in.(1.5 in. clear cover +0.5 in. stirrup diameter +0.5 in. to accommodate inner radius of stirrup bend). The unfactored service load moment is Ms=112ft-kips.
Assume fc'=6000,ffu**=84,600, and Ef=6500ks
