Question: A rectangular beam should be designed as a doubly reinforced to resist a factored moment 3 6 0 kip - ft ( 4 0 0

A rectangular beam should be designed as a doubly reinforced to resist a factored moment 360 kip-ft (400 kip-ft nominal). For architectural reasons the cross section is limited to width b=12 in and total height h=24 in. The project specifies normal weight concrete with 28 day compressive strength fc'=3,000 psi and fy=40,000 psi steel yielding. For simplicity use d=20.5 in and d'=2.5 in.
