Question: Problem. A simply supported uniformly loaded beam has a clear s p a n l n = 3 5 f t . a width b

Problem. A simply supported uniformly loaded beam has a clear spanln=35ft. a width b=12in., and a total depth h=20in.,d=17 in., and As=1.32in2. It is subjected to a service dead-load moment MD=240,000in.1b and a service live-load moment ML=320,000in-lb. Solve the following steps to determine if the beam satisfies the various deflection criteria for short and long-term loading. It is assumed that 80% of live load is continuously applied for 12 months. Given: fc'=3000 psi, fy=50,000 psi, normal weight concrete, Es=29106 psi.
i) From Table 8-1 find Minimum Required Depth (hmin) and compare with h. Check if the deflection calculations have to be made.
ii) Determine: (a) modulus of elasticity of concrete, (b) modular ratio n,(c) rupture strength of concrete
iii) If fr=411. psi and Ec=3,122,019 psi, (a) Gross moment of Inertia Ig,(b) cracking moment Mcr
iv) The cracked moment of inertia of the beam cross section, Icr.(assume n=9.29)
v) Convert length of the span to inches and find 5l248Ec,
