A rectangular beam with cross section b = 14 in., h = 20 in., and d = 17.5 in. supports a total factored uniform load of 3.20 kips/ft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supported with a 19-ft span. It is reinforced with four No. 8 Grade 60 bars, two 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 3,300 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 four bars is φMn = 214.5 kip-ft, and the strength of the remaining two bars is φMn = 115.8 kip-ft. Determine the distance from the support to the theoretical cutoff point (i.e. disregard ACI 318-14 Section 9.7.3.3).

Copied Out ofa Loose Paper. In silent night when rest I took, For sorrow near I did not look, I wakened was with thund’ring noise And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice. That fearful sound of “fire” and “fire,” Let no man know is my Desire. I, starting up, the light did spy, And to my God my heart did cry To straighten me in my Distress And not to leave me succourless. (succourless means helpless) Then, coming out, behold a space The flame consume my dwelling place. And when I could no longer look, I blest His name that gave and took, That laid my goods now in the dust. Yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just. It was his own, it was not mine, Far be it that I should repine; (repine means to fret or worry) He might of all justly bereft (bereft means deprived of or lacking) But yet sufficient for us left. When by the ruins oft I past My sorrowing eyes aside did cast And here and there the places spy Where oft I sate and long did lie. Here stood that trunk, and there that chest, There lay that store I counted best. My pleasant things in ashes lie And them behold no more shall I. Under thy roof no guest shall sit, Nor at thy Table eat a bit. No pleasant talk shall ‘ere be told Nor things recounted done of old. (recounted means remembered) No Candle e’er shall shine in Thee, Nor bridegroom‘s voice e’er heard shall be. In silence ever shalt thou lie, Adieu, Adieu, all’s vanity. (adieu means goodbye) Then straight I ‘gin my heart to chide, (chide means to scold) And did thy wealth on earth abide? (abide means to dwell) Didst fix thy hope on mould’ring dust? (mouldering means destroyed) The arm of flesh didst make thy trust? Raise up thy thoughts above the sky That dunghill mists away may fly. Thou hast a house on high erect Framed by that mighty Architect, (referring to God) With glory richly furnished, Stands permanent though this be fled. It‘s purchased and paid for too By Him who hath enough to do. A price so vast as is unknown, Yet by His gift is made thine own; There‘s wealth enough, I need no more, Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store. (pelf means money, or property) The world no longer let me love, My hope and treasure lies above.
