Based on the minimum depth requirements of ACI Table 9.3.1.1, a minimum overall depth h of 24.8 in. was computed in class for the beam of problem 2 based on its span length. If a beam depth h of 25 in. is used, compute the minimum required beam width b (rounded to whole inches) and the required area of tension steel reinforcement, As, for a reinforcement ratio of 1%. Assume d = h-2.5 in. Do not make practical decisions of selecting actual bar sizes.
