Question: 8 - 7 A rectangular beam with cross section b = 1 4 in . , h = 2 4 in . , and d

8-7 A rectangular beam with cross section b=14 in.,h=24 in., and d=21.5 in. supports a total factored load of 3.9kipsft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supportec with a 22-ft span. It is reinforced with five No.7 Grade-60 bars, two of which are cut off between midspan and the support and three of which extend 10in. past the centers of the supports. fc'=4000 psi. (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No.3 stirrups satisfying ACI Code Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.4.
a. Plot to scale the factored moment diagram. M=wlx2-wx22, where x is the distance from the support and l is the span.
b. Plot the moment-strength diagram and locate the cutoff points for the two cutoff bars such that the moment strength diagram stays above the factored moment.
