Solve for a:
(A s A sf) f y (8.4)
a =
0.85f c b w
and nominal moment capacity will be:

Find the nominal moment capacity of the beam given above:
f c = 2, 400 psi
f y = 50, 000 psi
Solution:
Check to see if a T-beam analysis is required:
Assume a < hf
As fy 6.88 50
a = = = 4.22 in
0.85f c b 0.85 2.4 40

A sf = 0.85 (b b w)h f = 0.85 2.4 (40 10) 4 = 4.90 in 2

Solve for a
0.85f cb wa = (A s A sf)f y
(A s A sf)f y 1.98 50
a = = = 4.86 in > 4in o.k.
0.85f cb w 0.85 2.4 10
Assumption is o.k.

Solution
First determining the effective flange width from Section (8.3.1.) or ACI 8.10.2

1) b = = 72 in
4 4
2) b 16h f + b w = (16 3) + 11 = 59 in
Assumption: Assuming that stress-block depth equals to the flange thickness of 3 inches (beam be-
haves like a rectangular shape).
Mu 6400 (8.7)
As = = = 6.40 in 2
f y(d a2) 0.9 60 (20 32)
A sf y
a = = 6.40 60 = 3.2 in > h f = 3.0 Assumption incorrect
0.85f cb 0.85 3 47
Therefore, the beam will act as a T-beam and must be designed as a T-beam. From Case I given above
and Section (8.4.1.) we have
hf (8.9)
M n1 = A sff y d ) = 0.9 4.58 (60ksi) (20 32) = 4570 in--kips

M n2 1830 (8.11)
A s A sf = = = 1.86 in 2
f y(d a2) 0.9 60 (20 3.52)
(A s A sf) f y
a = = 1.86 60 = 3.97 in (8.12)
0.85f c b w 0.85 3 11
M n2 1830 (8.13)
A s A sf = = = 1.88 in 2
f y(d a2) 0.9 60 (20 3.972)
(A s A sf) f y
a = = 1.88 60 = 4.02 in (8.14)
0.85f c b w 0.85 3 11
M n2 1830 (8.15)
A s A sf = = = 1.88 in 2
f y(d a2) 0.9 60 (20 4.022)
Therefore, the T-beam satisfies the ACI provisions for tension failure. Next steps will be to select the
reinforcement and check all the spacing requirements and detail the beam.
