(30 pts) A simply supported beam with a span L=20 ft and cross sectional dimensions: b=14 in; h=20 in; d=17.5 in. is reinforced with tension steel As=5 in2 . The beam supports a uniformly distributed dead load (including its own weight) DL=2.2 kips/ft and a uniformly distributed live load LL=1.8 kips/ft. The properties of the materials are as follows: f’c=4000 psi, steel fy=60,000 psi. Calculate the long-term deflections in the beam after five years.
