Question: A simple supported beam spanning L : = 2 6 f t has width of b : = 1 6 in and height of h

A simple supported beam spanning L:=26ft has width of b:=16 in and height of h:=30 in,
and carries a superimposed uniform service dead load of wdl:=1.5klf(excluding beam self-
weight) and uniform distributed service live load of wll:=3klf.
The beam has nb':=2,#?b:=7 compression and nb:=8,#?b=7 tension bars. Tension bars are
placed in two layers (nb2=4 bars in each layer) with clear vertical spacing of 1''.
Assume #?v:=4 stirrups, fc':=5000 psi, fy:=60000 psi, and cover :=1.5 in clear concrete
cover all around.
a) Is beam flexural capacity adequate to sustain the loads? (15 points)
b) Is beam section tension-controlled? (2.5 points)
c) Is code minimum reinforcement requirement satisfied? (2.5 points)
d) Is code minimum clear spacing for horizontal bars satisfied? (2.5 points)
e) Is code cracking control spacing for horizontal bars satisfied? (2.5 points)
