Question: A rectangular beam that must carry a service live load of 3 kips f t and a calculated dead load of 2 kips ft on

A rectangular beam that must carry a service live load of 3 kips ft and a calculated dead load of 2 kips ft on an 17 ft simple span is limited in cross section for architectural reasons to 12 in . width and 22 in . total depth. Consider the d'=2.5in. and cover about 4 in .
(50%) For the beam information above, if fy=60,000 and fc'=4000, what steel area(s) must be provided? Show the section details.
(50%) For the same beam, if fy=40,000 psi and fc'=3000 psi, what steel area(s) must be provided? Judge about it.
