A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 7,900 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the cracked moment of inertia, Icr. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.0334 in.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d = 25.5 in., and L = 23 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.708333 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.8 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with four No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 3,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Using the effective moment of inertia, determine the immediate mid-span deflection of the beam due to the combined service loads (dead plus live).The effective moment of inertia Ie = 9,728.2 in.4.
