Question: The simply supported beam shown is on a clear span of 3 0 ft . The beam carries uniformly distributed service loads of 1 .

The simply supported beam shown is on a clear span of 30 ft. The beam carries uniformly distributed service loads of 1.9 kip / ft live load and 0.7 kip/ft dead load (excluding the weight of the beam). Additionally, the beam carries two concentrated service loads of 8 kip dead load each, one load being placed 5 ft in. from the face of each sup-port. The beam is reinforced with No.3 single-loop stirrups placed in the following pattern, starting at the face of the support (symmetry about mid-span): one space at 2 in., five spaces at 8 in., four spaces at 10 in., and eight spaces at 12 in. Beamwidth b =15 in., h =28 in., and d =25.4 in.Use fc =4000 psi and fy =60,000 psi.
