Question: Given: The beam and loading shown below made with concrete strength f c ' = 5 , 5 0 0 psi and Grade 6 0

Given: The beam and loading shown below made with concrete strength fc'=5,500 psi and Grade 60 steel. Assume the unit weight of the concrete is 150pcf for purposes of finding the self-weight.
Dead load is equal to the self-weight of the beam, which you need to compute, plus a point load of 15 kips at midspan. Live load of 1.5kipft is distributed along the entire length of the beam. These loads are unfactored (i.e., service loads) and should remain so when computing the deflections.
Determine:
Compute the gross moment of inertia Ig and the location of the centroid y?bar. You may neglect the steel. [2 pts]
Compute the cracking moment Mcr.1pt
Compute the cracked moment of inertia Icr.[1 pt]
Find the immediate midspan deflection of the beam due to the live loading. [4 pts]
Assume that only the dead load is sustained. Find the additional long-term (>5 years out) midspan deflection due to creep and shrinkage. [1 pt]
Assume the beam supports nonstructural elements that are not likely to be damaged by large deflections. Are the deflections of this beam permissible according to ACI 318-19?
Given: The beam and loading shown below made with
