Transcribed Image Text:### Structural Engineering Calculation for Long-term Deflection
#### Diagram and Load Details
- **Diagram**: A schematic shows a beam fixed at one end with a point load (P<sub>LL</sub> = 20k) at the free end. The span is 15 feet.
- **Load Information**:
- w<sub>DL</sub> = 2.0 KLF (including self-weight)
- f’<sub>c</sub> = 4000 psi, Normal Weight Concrete (NWC)
- Grade 60 steel
#### Steps for Calculation
1. **Identification of Loads**:
- S<sub>DL</sub> for dead load
- S<sub>LL</sub> for live load
- S<sub>DL+LL</sub> for combined dead and live load
2. **Long-term Deflection Calculation**:
- Assume 25% of the live load is continuously applied for 3 years.
3. **Material Properties**:
- E<sub>C</sub> = 57000√(f’<sub>c</sub>)
- E<sub>C</sub> = 3600 ksi
- λ = 1, Normal Weight Concrete (NWC)
- Cover = 1.5 inches
- Modular ratio, n = E<sub>s</sub>/E<sub>C</sub> = 8
4. **Section Properties and Reinforcement**:
- Effective depth, d = 36 - 1.5 - 0.5 - 8/8 - 1/2 = 32.5 inches
- Moment of Inertia, I<sub>g</sub> = 1/12 × 16 × 36³ = 62208 in<sup>4</sup>
5. **Flexural Strength**:
- f<sub>r</sub> = 7.5 λ √(f’<sub>c</sub>) = 474.3 psi
- λ = 1.0
#### Reinforcement Diagram
- A cross-section sketch represents reinforcement:
- 8 bars of #8 steel on the top
- #4 bar at the bottom
- Overall dimensions: 36" height, 16" width
This calculation provides insights into beam deflection and strength, considering
