 Design of Doubly Reinforced Beams by ACI 318-14 when both As and A's are unknown (Case I)

Case I - As and As’ are unknown; b, d, Mu, f’c, fy known or specified

Mu = 1012.50 k - ft Instructions: Enter values only in cells
b= 16 in. that are colored yellow. Other values
d= 27.5 in. calculated from those input values.
d' = 2.5 in.
f'c = 4000 psi b1 = 0.85
fy = 60000 psi

1. Determine the maximum ultimate moment permitted by the code for the beam if it were singly
reinforced (Using the maximum value of r associated with f = 0.9)
r = 0.375(0.85b1f'c/fy) = 0.018063

2. If Mmax > Mu, compression steel is not needed. Design as singly reinforced beam.
If Mmax < Mu , continue to step three.

3. The most economical design uses Mu1 = Mmax which corresponds to r1 = the maximum
value of r associated with f = 0.9
