Question: Refer to the continuous T - beam shown below. Image ( a ) shows the cross - section of the continuous T - beam. Image

Refer to the continuous T-beam shown below. Image (a) shows the cross-section of the continuous T-beam. Image (b) shows the span of the T-beam.(a) Beam section and distance to adjacent beams
Compute the effective flange width for the T-beam in the middle of image (a). You should only use the clear span, so you need to subtract out half of the column width (18) on each end to get the clear span and use that value for l.
At midspan, there are two layers of tension rebar: (3) #8s in the bottom layer and (2) #7s in the layer above. Assume minimum rebar spacing is satisfied. If the concrete has a compressive strength (fc) of 5,000 psi, the rebar is Gr.60, and there is a 1.5 cover, what is the design moment capacity (\Phi Mn) for the T-beam in the middle of image (a) at midspan (i.e. where there is positive bending only and no compression reinforcement)?
Refer to the continuous T - beam shown below.
