The lexure theory for beam members has been widely accepted for many years,
and it has only minor variations among the available design codes or guidelines. In
this section, the formulaefor the calculation of lexural strength as per AASHTO LRFD
(2014) which conforms to the ACI318-14, is presented. Thus, the nominal lexural
strength as per AASHTO LRFD (2014) can be calculated asfollows:
βf if fc < 4.0
‖ .85
