A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.2 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.9 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 5 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 4,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 5.216 in., determine the strain in the compression reinforcement, ε’s.
