A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 22 in., d = 19.5 in., and L = 19 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.7125 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.1 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with two No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 2,800 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 48.02 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 126.9 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 3.8373 in.

A rectangular beam with cross section b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. supports a total factored uniform load of 3.10 kips/ft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supported with a 21-ft span. It is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars, three of which are cutoff between midspan and the support and two of which extend 10 in. past the centers of the supports. The concrete strength is 6,000 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. The strength of the five bars is φMn = 320.8 kip-ft, and the strength of the remaining two bars is φMn = 134.5 kip-ft. Determine the distance from the support to the theoretical cutoff point (i.e. disregard ACI 318-14 Section 9.7.3.3).
