Design of Rectangular Beams with Tension Reinforcement Design a
rectangular beam section (i.e., select b, h, and the required
tension reinforcement) at midspan for a 22 ft-span simply supported
beam that supports its own self-weight, a superimposed uniform dead
load of 1.25 kip/ft, and a uniform live load of 2 kip/ft. The
material properties are f 0 c = 4, 500 psi and fy = 60, 000 psi.
Consider a clear cover of 1.5 inches to the #4 stirrups. Follow...
