where Acp and pcp are in in. and in., respectively, and Tu in ft-kips.

Section properties Acp and pcp are presented in Table 3-11 for rectangular and L shaped beams. Table 3-12
presents values for threshold torsion for = 4 ksi
For a rectangular sections having width and height equal to b and h, respectively, the torsion can be neglected if:
2 2
hb
Tu < fc

2(h + b)

for concrete with = 4000 psi:

2 2
h b
Tu < 0.002
h + b

where h and b are in inches, and Tu ft-kip

Figure 3-14 shows values for threshold torsion for rectangular sections.
