I am trying to figure out which equations were used to solve this problem.

Transcribed Image Text:Find Beam Size & Reinforcing Steel (1)
A rectangular beam is to be sized with f, = 60,000 psi, f = 3000 psi, and a reinforcement ratio papprox-
imately equal to 0.18f,/f,. It is to have a 25-ft simple span and to support a dead load, in addition to
its own weight, equal to 2 k/ft and a live load equal to 3 k/ft.
SOLUTION
Assume Beam wt= 400 lb/ft
W, = (1.2) (2 klf+0.400 klf) + (1.6) (3 klf) = 7.68 klf (k/ft)
(7.68 klf)(25 ft)?
