Another term for special occasion speaking is:

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

One of the three basic assumptions in the theory of flexure for reinforce concrete is that sections perpendicular to the axis of bending that are plane before bending remains plane after bending.

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 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. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

Which symbol represents the cross-sectional area of the reinforcement on the compression side of a reinforced concrete beam?

Outstanding debt of Home Depot trades with a yield to maturity of 10%. The tax rate of Home Depot is 25%. What is the effective cost of debt of Home Depot?

In design, there is one unique answer. One determines the beam strength given several factors such as concrete strength, cross section, reinforcement size, location, and yield strength.

Which symbol represents the distance from the extreme fiber in compression to the centroid of the longitudinal reinforcement on the tension side of a reinforced concrete member?

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 24 in., d = 21.5 in., and L = 21 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.7 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.5 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.      

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 26 in., and d = 23.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 3,400 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.
