Question

Design a reinforced concrete section that can carry a factored moment of 260 K⋅ft as:

           a. Singly reinforced, b=10 in.

           b. Doubly reinforced, 25% of the moment to be resisted by compression steel, b=10 in.

           c. T-section, which has a flange thickness of 3 in, flange width of 20 in, and web width of 10 in.

           Then = 3ksi and fy = 60 ksi for all problems.

           Determine the quantities of concrete and steel designed per foot length of beams. Also, determine the cost of each design if the price of the concrete equals $50/yd3 and that of steel is $0.30/lb. Tabulate and compare results.
