More longitudinal reinforcement is required where bending moments have the largest magnitude.

A Xerox DocuColor photocopier costing $44,000 is paid off in 60 monthly installments at 6.90% APR. After three years the company wishes to sell the photocopier. What is the minimum price for which they can sell the copier so that they can cover the cost of the balance remaining on the loan?

21. What factors do NOT usually complicate the care of patients with cancers involving the ENT area?

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 7,600 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the tensile force T in the reinforcement.

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 5,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

The elastic beam theory is not used in the design of reinforced concrete beams because (1) the compressive stress-strain relationship for concrete becomes non-linear at higher strain values and (2) concrete cracks at low tensile stresses making it necessary to use reinforcing steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 5,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth to the neutral surface is c = 1.405644 in., determine the strain in the reinforcement.

One of the three basic assumptions in the theory of flexure for reinforce concrete is that the strain in the reinforcement is less than the strain in the concrete at the same level.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 4,600 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the compressive stress block is a = 2.02046 in. and the strain in the reinforcement is εs = 0.020742, determine the strength φMn for this beam. Assume the transverse reinforcement is not spirals.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 5 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 7.179 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.
