A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., d = 19.5 in., and L = 21 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.666667 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. 5 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 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 = 3,281.8 in.4.
