Mathcad - Beam Capacity With A Prime S - Rev03

This document calculates the capacity of a concrete beam. It provides parameters for the beam such as its dimensions, concrete strength, and steel reinforcement. It then calculates the moment capacity, shear capacity, and development length of the beam according to provisions in ACI 318. The calculations are shown using mathematical notation and the results are provided in kips or foot-kips units.
