Question: Problem H 0 5 - 0 2 . Reinforced - concrete beam design [ Points: 1 / 5 ] . Design the cantilever rectangular reinforced

Problem H05-02. Reinforced-concrete beam design [Points: 1/5].
Design the cantilever rectangular reinforced beam shown in the figure. Provide a maximum of #8 size
bars, in two rows if necessary; fc'=3,000lbfin2,fy=50,000lbfin2. Sketch the design. Include the self-
weight of the reinforced concrete beam. Apply Load Combination 2 only. Comply your design with the
ACI specifications for beams (see slides 28-32 of lecture 'L07- Concrete Flexion I'. Explain why the re-
inforcement steel has to be laid at the top and not at the bottom. Exploit the instructor spreadsheet calcula-
tor posted in D2L to speed up the numerical calculations.
D=2,500lbft(excluding self weight) Problem H05-05. Double reinforced-concrete beam design [Points: 1/5]. Design a double-reinforced concrete beam to resist the moment due to a service dead load D=150,000 lbf**ft (including self-weight) and the moment due to a service live load L=160,000lbf**ft . Apply Load Combination 2 only. The beam width is limited to 11in , and the effective depth d is limited to 20in . The compression steel cover is 3 in from the top (measured to centerline of compressive rebars). Use fdeg _(c)=3,000lb(f)/(i)n^(2),f_(y)=60,000lb(f)/(i)n^(2). Exploit the instructor spreadsheet calculator posted in D2L to speed up the numerical calculations. Hint*: Review the algorithm of Slides 14-24 of the 'L9- Concrete Flexion III' handout.
