Adjacent span loading is the common loading pattern for determining maximum shear at the supports between the loaded spans due to dead load.

Locate atom “a)” in the Atomic mass table at the bottom of the page.  Calculate the nuclear binding energy (in J/atom) for atom a). Answer format:   The answer will be in the form:  ___ x 10-12 J.  Only type the part that goes in the blank. Do not type “x 10-10 J”.  Round to 2 sig figs, do not round until the end of the calculation.

A concrete cover of at least two bar diameters is required to sufficiently bond the reinforcement to the concrete.

A full structural analysis of continuous beams and one-way slabs is often required to find the design moments and shears at critical sections (commonly midspan and faces of supports).

The symbol f’c represents the _______.

The symbol Mu represents the _______.

Briefly reflect on the process you have followed to write your rough draft. Where are you in the process? What is left to do? What is your plan for completing the draft and/or revising it in the coming weeks? Try to capture your thoughts and what you have learned over the past few weeks about constructing a large research project.

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 9,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

The moment-curvature relationship is non-linear up to the cracking point and is referred to as the uncracked-elastic range.

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 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.
