Question: 7 . 4 . A beam having b = 1 2 in . , d = 2 1 . 5 in . , and h

7.4. A beam having b=12 in.,d=21.5 in., and h=24 in. is reinforced with three No.11(No.36) bars. Material strengths are fy=60,000 psi and fc'=4000. It is used on a 28ft simple span to carry a total service load of 2430lbft. For this member, the sustained loads include self-weight of the beam plus additional superimposed dead load of 510lbft, plus 400lbft representing that part of the live load that acts more or less continuously, such as furniture, equipment, and time-average occupancy load. The remaining 1220lbft live load consists of short-duration loads, such as the brief peak load in the corridors of an office building at the end of a workday.
(a) Find the increment of deflection under sustained loads due to creep.
(b) Find the additional deflection increment due to the intermittent part of the live load.
