Reinforced Concrete T-Beam Design

fy = 60 ksi
fc' = 3.5 ksi

b = 19.66 in.
d

d = 52.84 in.
h

bf = 157.5 in.
tf = 7.87 in.
h = 59.06 in.
As = 23.57 sq.in.

bf

Compute Force in Tension Block

T = 23.57(60) = 1414 kips

Compute Force in Compression Block

C = 0.85(3.5)(157.5)a = 468.5a

Compute Compression Block Depth

a = 1414/468.5 = 3.019 in.

Compute Nominal Moment Capacity

Mn = 1414(52.84 - 3.019/2) = 72591.9 k-in. (6049.33 k-in.)

Compute Design Strength

0.9Mn = 0.9(72591.9) = 65332.7 k-in. (5444.39 k-ft)

Compute Reinforcement Ratio

rho = 23.57/19.66/52.84 = 0.02269 (Based on Web)

Parameter B1 = 0.85
Balanced Reinforcement Ratio = 0.07671 (Based on web)
Maximum Reinforcement Ratio = 0.75(0.07671) = 0.05753 (Based on web)
Minimum Reinforcement Ratio = 0.003333

This design may be acceptable.

The steel ratio is in the acceptable range.
