Please someone help?
em 1: Transformed Moment of Inertia and Elastic Deflection Given: The center of the top and bottom rebars are placed 2.5 " from the top and bottom faces. Top Reinforcement: 2 no. 4 Rebar Bottom Reinforcement: 4 no. 9 Rebar Use textbook table A-1 for rebar properties Es?=29,000ksiEc?=3,600ksi? Unit weight of plain concrete =145lb/ft3 a. Find the transformed moment of inertia of the composite section. b. Calculate the reinforcement ratio ? where ? is Asb?/bd.Asb? is the area of the bottom steel, d is the depth from the top face of the beam to the bottom steel, and b is width of the beam. c. A 30' simply supported beam has this cross-section. Ignoring the effects of cracking, how much would the beam deflect under its own self-weight and a live load of 0.64kip/ft ? d. Often the unit weight for reinforced concrete is assumed to be 150lb/ft3. Repeat part c. using this assumption. e. Repeat part c. using the gross moment of inertia. Note: the gross moment of inertia is the moment of inertia assuming the beam is entirely concrete. f. Briefly discuss the difference between the deflections calculated in parts c-e. When could the simplifying assumptions made in parts d and e be useful? Are they safe assumptions to make?
