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 = 20 in. The concrete modulus of rupture f r = 530 psi. The elastic moduli of the concrete and steel are, respectively, E c = 4,030,000 psi and E s = 29,000,000 psi. The tensile steel consists of four No. 11 (No. 36) bars. ( a ) Find the maximum service load moment that can be resisted without stressing the concrete above 0 .45 f c′ or the steel above 0.40 f y . ( b ) Determine whether the beam will crack before reaching the service load. ( c ) Compute the nominal flexural strength of the beam. ( d ) Compute the ratio of the nominal flexural strength of the beam to the maximum service load moment, and compare your findings to the ACI load factors and strength reduction factor.
