CE4510
Problem Set No. 4
Problem I
Compute the flexural strength, Mn, of the beam section shown below. Assume b =12in, h = 36
in, d = 32.5 in, dt = 33.5 in, fy = 60,000 psi, f’c =4,000 psi. In order to determine Mn, use the
procedure given in class. Show calculations for the initial iteration and the final iteration, as a
minimum.
Remember to check ACI requirement for minimum area of tension steel as well as ACI [Link]
Problem II
Compute the bending moment capacity, Mn, of the beam section shown below if fy = 60,000
psi and f’c =4,000 psi. Assume dt = 37 in. In order to determine Mn, use the procedure given in
class. Show calculations for the initial iteration and the final iteration, as a minimum.
Remember to check ACI requirement for minimum area of tension steel as well as ACI [Link].

Problem Set No. 4
Notes:
- Remember: For Problems I and II, if at any point f’s ≥ fy, set f’s=fy (i.e., always check
that f’s≤fy)
- Organize your calcs and provide titles and subtitles to them so the reviewer easily
understands your calcs.
- Show all work
- Do use sketches to support your calculations
- Keep working on neatness and organization
- Respect margins
- Avoid using red pen. Red pen is for reviewers
- Use a straight edge to draw lines
- Number pages
