A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 9 No. 5 bars at a depth of 24 in. The top row contains 7 No. 5 bars at a depth of 18.5 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.
Read DetailsA rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. It is reinforced with four No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,100 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam).
Read DetailsA rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 8,200 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the cracking moment, Mcr.
Read DetailsA rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 6,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the gross moment of inertia, Ig, for the beam.
Read DetailsA simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.479167 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.9 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with two No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 7,300 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 = 5,939.7 in.4.
