Question: A rectangular beam carries uniformly distributed service ( unfactored ) dead load of 2 . 3 kip / ft . , excluding its own self

A rectangular beam carries uniformly distributed service (unfactored) dead load of 2.3 kip/ ft.,
excluding its own self-weight (for lightweight concrete) and 1.7 kip/ft. service (unfactored) live
loads. Factored concentrated loads of 10 kip each are placed as shown on the span in addition to
the given distributed loads. Calculate the beams bending moment capacity and check if it is safe
for bending. The beam width is 15 in., and it has a total depth of 30 in. It has 5- #10 bars in one
layer. Use fc =6,000 psi and f y =60,000 psi. Hint: Calculate the bending moment capacity, the
maximum factored bending moment, and then compare for ensuring safety.
