Design a rectangular reinforced concrete beam for Mu = 550 k-ft (not including self-weight). Use f’c = 4000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. Use a design ρ = 0.01. Using the method of bd2, and choosing a width b no smaller than 15 inches and no larger than 18 inches, design a beam to resist the moment. Save room for #3 stirrups. Report your final design and draw the cross-section labeling all dimensions and showing the rebar layout and spacing. Design b, d, and h to the nearest half an inch. Self-weight must be included in your calculation.
