Design a rectangular reinforced concrete beam for a simple span of 32 ft. Uniform service loads are 1.5 kips/ft dead load and 2.0 kips/ft live load. Assuming that the total depth h is not to exceed 32 in. and that there is no limitation on the width b. Use f′c = 3000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. Sketch your design
