Good point, usually they make it harder on the FE so you can't use those charts :( . But yeah if it was this simple, the tables are the way to go. Good stuff!
Is neutral axis the centroid? So, if the beam is of a complex figure, ones just find the centroid of the complex figure, and that will be the neutral axis?
What an impressive explanation 👏 👌
you can easily go to the table on page 140 and it will give you the maximum moment instead of drawing the shear and moment diagram
