Question: Problem 2 . For the rectangular beam shown here, calculate the development lengths of top No . 7 bars and bottom No . 9 bars.

Problem 2.
For the rectangular beam shown here, calculate the development lengths of top No.7 bars and bottom No.9 bars. No.4 bars are used for stirrups. The spacing of stirrups is 6 in. The clear side cover depth is 1.5 inch. (Clear cover depth means the distance from the beam face to the outer surface of a bar).
Normalweight concrete is used.
fc'=4000 psi, fy=fyt=60000 psi.
Equation (6.5) and (6.6) will be used respectively. And the results shall be compared.
2. From the conditions given in problem 1, the yield stresses fy and fyt have been increased to 80000 psi psi, and fy=fyt=80000 psi). Determine the development lengths with the increased yield strength.
3. From the conditions given in problem 1, only the yield stress fc' has been increased to 8000 psi
Problem 2 . For the rectangular beam shown here,
