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

0.85f c′b 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).

As = = = 6.40 in 2
φf y(d − a∕2) 0.9 × 60 × (20 − 3∕2)

a = = 6.40 × 60 = 3.2 in > h f = 3.0 Assumption incorrect
0.85f c′b 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

A s − A sf = = = 1.86 in 2
φf y(d − a∕2) 0.9 × 60 × (20 − 3.5∕2)
(A s − A sf) f y
a = = 1.86 × 60 = 3.97 in (8.12)
0.85f c′ b w 0.85 × 3 × 11
φM n2 1830 (8.13)
A s − A sf = = = 1.88 in 2
φf y(d − a∕2) 0.9 × 60 × (20 − 3.97∕2)
(A s − A sf) f y
a = = 1.88 × 60 = 4.02 in (8.14)
0.85f c′ b w 0.85 × 3 × 11
φM n2 1830 (8.15)
A s − A sf = = = 1.88 in 2
φf y(d − a∕2) 0.9 × 60 × (20 − 4.02∕2)
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.
