11. The prestressed T beam shown below is pretensioned using low relaxation
stress-relieved Grade 270 strands. The steel area Aps = 2.5 in². The tensile
strength is fpu = 270 ksi, and the concrete compressive strength is fr =
6000 psi.

(b) Since this beam is a T-beam, the nominal moment strength M₁ increases with a thicker hf. However, M, stops
increasing if he reaches a value. Determine the minimum thickness hy that can achieve the maximum nominal moment
strength Mr. Also, calculate the corresponding maximum nominal moment strength Mn with the computed hf.
