The rectangular beam shown below supports a factored column load of 1450 kips. The beam and columns are 28 inches wide. Use fc'=4,000 psi, fy=60,000 psi, and d=9ft. Assume tension reinforcement is provided using a single layer of five #14 rebars. The concrete cover is 2".
(a) Draw a truss model neglecting the effects of stirrups and dead load of the beam.
(b) Size the nodes and the struts using ACl318-19. You can assume that there is no bearing plate at the beam-column joints. Modify the truss model if necessary.
(c) Draw a cross section of the beam with reinforcement detailing.
