1) Check for deep Beam Criteria :

a) ln / h <= 4
b) a / h < = 2

31.1 ft / 10.9 ft = 2.853 < 4

16.4 ft / 10.9 ft = 1.504 < 2

2) Determine Flexural Reinforcement :

Wt of the girder =
150 pcf x 10.9 ft x 24 in / 12 in= 3270 plf
Factored wt of girder = = 1.5 x 3270 plf = 4905 plf
Mu =
1102.31X32.8ft x 12 in / 4 + 4.905x (32.8x 12 in)^2/8 = 203453.2176 k-in
Hence Mu =
213065.9 k-in
Area of Steel :
As=Mu / (f fy jd ) >= 3 x sqrt( f'c) x bw x d / ( Fy)

Flexural Reinforcement Location :

y = 0.25 x 10.9 x 12 - 0.05 x 32.8 x 12 =13.02 in ( 330.708 mm)
Maxm Spacing =
15(40000/fs) - 2.5 Cc <= 12(40000/fs)
15 x (40000 / (2/3)60000 - 2.5 x 2.91 =
11.555 in ( 293.49 mm)< 12(40000)/fs
