A reinforced concrete beam is 300mm wide and 500mm deep. The beam is cantilever over a span of 3m and carries uniform deadload of 10 kN/m including its own weight and a uniform liveload of 5 kN/m. The beam is reinforced for tension only with 3-28 mm diameter bars with an effective depth of 420mm, f'c=28 MPa, and fy=415 MPa. a. Calculate the maximum instantaneous deflection due to service loads. b. Calculate the deflection for the same loads after 5 years assuming 50% of the liveload is sustained.
