A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., d = 19.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.020833 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.4 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with three No. 5 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 4,900 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 49.41 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 207 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 3.8833 in.
