Discuss your experiences with a tutor this week. What did you like? What did you dislike? Do you think you would take papers for other classes to the CLE in the future? Why or why not? Elaborate on your thoughts here.

The basic strength requirement from ACI 318 is “Reduced nominal strength ​≤ Factored load effects.”

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 9,400 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth to the neutral surface is c = 1.452365 in., determine the strain in the reinforcement.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 26 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 23.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 4 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 3,700 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. For the results given below, determine the strength Mn for this beam.a = 3.809 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 165.8 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 23.8 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 189.6 kips (tensile force in steel)

Determine β1 given that f’c = 9,700 psi.

The basic strength requirement from ACI 318 is “Reduced nominal strength ​≤ Factored load effects.”

Adjacent span loading is the common loading pattern for determining maximum negative moments at supports due to live load.

For the initial analysis-design cycle, total beam depths are typically in the range of L/18 to L/12, where L is the center-to-center span length of the beam.

A two-dimensional structural analysis is permitted for determining design moments in a typical continuous beam and column frame system.
