Details
A T-beam of length 5ft is subjected to a major axis moment has the following concrete and steel properties.
Width of T flange, Bf = 30 in
Depth of T, D = 26 in
Thickness of flange, Tf = 4 in
Thickness of web, Tw = 10 in
Steel modulus of elasticity, Es = 29,000 ksi
Ultimate strain, εu = 0.003
Yield strength of reinforcing steel, fy = 60 ksi
Compressive strength of concrete (normal weight concrete), fc = 4,000 psi
Clear spacing for outermost bottom reinforcement to bottom face, Cc = 1.5 in
Strength reduction factor, ϕ = 0.9
Rebar diameter for #10 bar, Ød = 1.27 in

To check whether this section is tension controlled, refer to PCA Table 7.1 (ref. 2):
𝑀𝑛𝑤
𝑅𝑛 = = 0.176
𝑓𝑐 × 𝑇 𝑤 × 𝑑 2
( 0.1802 − 0.1726 )
𝑤 = ( 0.2 − 0.19 ) × (𝑅𝑛 − 0.1726) + 0.19 = 0.192
𝑓
𝜌 = 𝑤𝑛 𝑐 = 0.013 < 0.01806

based on PCA Table 6.1 (ref. 2), thus the section is tension controlled.
Assume 6- #10 bars, divided between top and bottom: Ast, tot = 6 × 1.27 in2 = 7.62 in2
