A simply supported beam with a span of 26 FT is used to carry aservice dead load (including self-weight) of 1.65 KLF and a servicelive load of 3.3 KLF and is reinforced with 4-#9 bars. The beam hasa width b of 14 IN, an effective depth of 24.5 IN., and a height of27 IN. The material strengths are f’c = 4000 PSI and fy = 60 KSI.The immediate deflection due to live load is limited to L/360. Doesthe beam meet these limits?
