4.17. A rectangular beam made using concrete with f 'c= 6000 psi and steel with f y =
60,000 psi has a width b = 20 in., an effective depth of d = 17.5 in., and a total depth of h =

4.18. A rectangular, tension-reinforced beam is to be designed for dead load of 500 lb/ft plus
self-weight and service live load of 1200 lb/ft, with a 22 ft simple span. Material strengths
will be f y = 60 ksi and f 'c= 3 ksi for steel and concrete, respectively. The total beam depth
must not exceed 16 in. Calculate the required beam width and tensile steel requirement, using
a reinforcement ratio of 0.60 ρ0.005 . Use ACI load factors and strength reduction factors.
The effective depth may be assumed to be 2.5 in. less than the total depth.

own weight, on a 24 ft simple span. The ACI Code load factors are to be applied as usual.
