A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., d = 21.5 in., and L = 23 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.55 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.3 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with four No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 7,600 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 = 4,127.3 in.4.
