A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 28 in., d = 25.5 in., and L = 25 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.3 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 4,300 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 = 13,986 in.4.
