Low blood calcium (Ca2+) causes the release of parathyroid hormone.

Given the following lung volumes, calculate vital capacity. Tidal Volume = 500 mL Inspiratory Reserve Volume = 3100 mL Expiratory Reserve volume = 1200 mL Residual Volume = 1200 mL

A compression-controlled section has a tension-reinforcement area such that when the beam reaches its nominal flexural strength, the net tensile strain in the extreme layer of tensile steel is greater than or equal to 0.005.

The adhesive force between a smooth reinforcement bar and concrete is too weak to be practical in construction; therefore, smooth bars are commonly used as longitudinal reinforcement in concrete.

Match this element of a business plan with the correct description: The business opportunity.  

What does the infrastructure management of the business model consist of? 

Creative destruction disrupts the existing economic or industrial structure and creates a new industry or a new industrial structure through innovation. 

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 27.5 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 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 5.68 in., determine the strain in the compression reinforcement, ε’s.

For a beam with stirrup hooks, the free end of the bar must extend at least _____ from the hook. Assume b1 = 39 in., b2 = 15 in., d1 = 8 in., d2 = 19 in., and that there are three No. 6 longitudinal tension bars and No. 3 stirrups at 12 in. o.c. The stirrup hooks are 90°.

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 4,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 4.199 in., determine the force in the compression reinforcement, Cs.
