A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 166.2 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 209.5 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.8434 in.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., d = 19.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.466667 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.3 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with three No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 8,500 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 74.37 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 88.53 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 3.783 in.
