A steel I-beam [E = 200 GPa] has a depth of 117 mm, width of 78 mm, moment of inertia of Ix = 5.11 × 106 mm4, and length of 5 m. It rests on a hard rubber foundation. The value of the spring constant for the hard rubber is k0 = 0.270 N/mm3. If the beam is subjected to a concentrated load, P = 70 kN, at the center of the beam, determine the deflection at the center of the beam. The value of β is 1.507 /m.
