The deep beam shown in Fig. P17-1 supports a factored load of
1450 kips. The beam and columns are 24 in. wide. Draw a truss model
neglecting the effects of stirrups and the dead load of the wall.
Check the strength of the nodes and struts, and design the tension
tie. Use f’c=4000 psi normal weight concrete and fy=60,000 psi.
