A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 15 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.4 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. The beam is reinforced with 3 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 6,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live), Ma.      

In deformed reinforcing bars, adhesion and lateral friction are insignificant sources of bond strength.

A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 4,300 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the gross moment of inertia, Ig, for the beam.

In the long-term, the concrete frame of a building will shorten due to creep and the brick exterior will expand due to an increase in moisture content.

Ignoring the compression reinforcement will have only a minor effect on elastic stress and deflection analyses.
