Question: A beam with the following geometry and cross - section is constructed with concrete of compressive strength of 3 0 0 0 psi, 3 No

A beam with the following geometry and cross-section is constructed with concrete of
compressive strength of 3000psi, 3 No.6 bars at the bottom face, and 3 No.6 bars at the top face
of the beam. The beam supports a total dead load (including self-weight) of 725 plf,L1 of 600 plf,
and L2 of 1040 plf. Note that L1 and L2 are live loads which may or may not be active at any
given time. Consider all possible loading scenarios and
a. determine the unfactored shear force and bending moment envelope diagrams.
b. determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the steel and concrete at the points
of maximum and minimum negative moments.
c. determine if the beam will crack. If the beam cracks, sketch where in the beam the crack(s) will
form.
A beam with the following geometry and cross -
