A simply supported beam with a span of 26 FT is used to carry a service dead load (including self-weight) of 1.65 KLF and a service live load of 3.3 KLF and is reinforced with 4-#9 bars. The beam has a width b of 14 IN, an effective depth of 24.5 IN., and a height of 27 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. Does the beam meet these limits?
