ACI 318-14 Section 25.7.2.1 specifies that ties shall consist of a closed loop of deformed bar.

Determine the bar-spacing factor, cb, for a simply supported rectangular beam with b = 18 in. and No. 3 stirrups. This beam has five No. 8 bars as longitudinal reinforcement. The clear cover is 1.5 in.

The overall goals of grief counseling is to________________.

Concrete can crack due to imposed deformations, such as differential settlement, shrinkage, and temperature differentials.

A dislocation does not require medical attention to reduce the injury.

Determine the epoxy modification factor, ψe, for a rectangular beam with b = 18 in. and d = 22 in., three epoxy-coated No. 9 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the top of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 60 stirrups located every 6 in. along the span. Assume 8,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 1.75 in.

Tied columns cannot be circular-shaped.

A rectangular beam has a cross section of b = 16 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with four No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 6,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the transformed cross-sectional area of the bars, Ast.
