For the doubly-reinforced beam section shown below:
a) Determine the nominal moment strength, Mn. Use the iterative approach
suggested in your textbook. Verify whether or not the amount of tension
reinforcement complies with the ACI minimum reinforcement requirements. Also,
verify if the section is tension-controlled. Given fc'=4800 and fy=60000.
b) Determine the nominal moment strength, Mn but assuming that there is no
compression reinforcement. There is no need to repeat the minimum
reinforcement check.
c) Compute the increase in moment strength achieved by adding the compression
reinforcement, i.e., part a)- part b]?Mn(partb)
d) Compute the change in maximum tensile strain, i.e.,
t(parta)-t(partb]t( part b)*100
e) Comment on the changes observed by adding the compression reinforcement
regarding moment capacity and ductility.
