Question: A beam with the cross - section shown below is 2 5 feet long. The beam is simply supported and loaded with uniform dead load

A beam with the cross-section shown below is 25 feet long. The beam is simply supported and loaded with uniform
dead load of 1kipft(including the self-weight) and a uniform live load of 2.3kipsft.
For uniformly distributed loads, max=5wl4384EI
As=6#8 bars of Grade 60 steel
fc'=4000 psi normal weight concrete
a. Where is the cracked neutral axis for the beam?
b. What is the cracked moment of inertia?
c. What is the anticipated immediate deflection due to live loading?
d. How does the deflection you computed in part c compare to the code limits for the immediate deflection due to live
load on a floor, assuming the beam will not support or be attached to nonstructural elements sensitive to large
deflections?
A beam with the cross - section shown below is 2
