A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. It is reinforced with three No. 7 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 5,500 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the cracked moment of inertia, Icr. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 5.0405 in.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 24 in., d = 21.5 in., and L = 16 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.55 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.3 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. The beam is reinforced with 5 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 3,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi.
