‘A rectangular beam of width b = 18 in., effective depth d= 17 in., and total depth = 20 in. spans 25 ft
between simple supports. It supports an unfactored dead load of 1.2 kips/ft (includes beam self-
weight) plus an unfactored live load of 0.7 kips/ft. Flexural reinforcement consists of five No. 9 bars
ina single row, and shear reinforcement is provided using No. 3 stirrups. Materials: f¢ = 4000 psi
and fy = 60,000 psi.
(1) Determine if the arrangement of the reinforcing bars satisfies the ACI 318-02, Section 10.6.4
requirements on distribution of flexural reinforcement.
(2) For the given beam:
(a) Calculate the increment of deflection resulting from the application of the short-term live
load.
(b) Find the creep portion of the sustained load deflection plus the immediate deflection due
to live load.
(c) Compare the deflection calculated in part (b) with the limitations imposed by the ACI
Code as summarized in Table 6.3 of the text. Assume that the beam is susceptible to
cracking damage if the deflections are excessive.ce 433 WwW No. T FEN 2007
