Question 1: A cantilever beam is subjected to uniformly distributed dead load of 17 kN/m (and concentrated live load of 25 kN). Of the total live load, 30% is considered sustained for 1 year. The beam has a rectangular cross- section of 350 mm width and 700 mm depth. The beam will support nonstructural partitions that are likely to be damaged by large deflection. Check if deflection of this beam satisfies ACI 318-11 limitation. f'c=28 MPa and fy=420 MPa.
