Question: The frame shown below was analyzed in SAP 2 0 0 0 . The resulting moment envelope is shown. Determine the size and reinforcement necessary

The frame shown below was analyzed in SAP 2000. The resulting moment envelope is shown. Determine the size and reinforcement necessary for beam AB(marked in figure) at the three points indicated in the figure (two end points and midspan). The size should remain constant and only the reinforcement varied in the three sections. Select reinforcing bars and draw the details carefully for each of the three sections. As a guide to size the beam you may use a reinforcement ration of approximately 70% of the maximum allowed by the ACI 318 code. Use fc'=5,000 psi and fy=60,000.
