A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., d = 25.5 in., and L = 24 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.966667 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 8,200 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 118.3 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 235.2 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 5.0301 in.
