A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 24 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.5375 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with two No. 5 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 7,600 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Using the effective moment of inertia, determine the immediate mid-span deflection of the beam due to the combined service loads (dead plus live).The effective moment of inertia Ie = 8,000 in.4.

Failure of a hooked anchorage rarely involves crushing of the concrete inside the hook.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 166.2 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 209.5 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.8434 in.

Map cracking can be controlled by limiting the heat rise due to the heat of hydration and the rate of cooling, or both; by placing the wall in short lengths; or by reinforcement considerably in excess of normal shrinkage reinforcement.

Members subjected to _______ may develop vertical cracks that extend approximately to the zero-strain axis (neutral axis) of the member.

If a hooked anchorage exceeds its limits, it tends to fail by _______.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 166.2 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 209.5 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.8434 in.

What is the easiest way to test the bond strength of bars in a laboratory?

Determine the bar-spacing factor, cb, for a simply supported rectangular beam with b = 20 in. and No. 3 stirrups. This beam has three No. 7 bars as longitudinal reinforcement. The clear cover is 1.6 in.
