Question: Q 1 - ( Problem 4 . 6 - modified ) A simply - supported foot bridge ( L = 6 0 f t )

Q1-(Problem 4.6- modified) A simply-supported foot bridge (L=60ft) uses a standard precast pretensioned double-T concrete beam in its inverted position. Typical cross sections and available dimensions are given in the figure and table shown below. These are normal weight concrete beams.
Given:
o fc'=7,800
o fci=4,600
o ftiall=-150
o ftall=-375
o.fciall=3,000
o.fc,all=4,000
o fpe=180ksi
Losses =16%
Select the least weight bean that satisfies the flexural stress requirements from the available sections if the design live load is wLL=600plf.
