Question: Consider the cantilever beam below, which supports a distributed dead load of 1 . 5 kip / ft plus a concentrated live load of 1

Consider the cantilever beam below, which supports a distributed dead load of 1.5 kip/ft plus a concentrated live load of 12 kips as shown. Considering the LRFD load combination 1.2 DL +1.6 LL and ignoring the beam self-weight, do the following:
A. Determine beam dimensions and required reinforcement. Assume a beam depth H=L4.5 and BH ratio between 1.5 and 4.
B. Select beam dimensions and rebar arrangement. Calculate the factored moment capacity of the section.
C. Sketch the beam cross-section, including bar spacing, clear cover, etc. Assume #4 stirrups are in use.
For your calculations assume the following material properties: =4000 and =60 ksi.
Live Load, PL=12 kips
w0=1.5kipft
Consider the cantilever beam below, which
