Web reinforcement is normally provided to ensure that the beam reaches the full _______ capacity.

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 14 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

Compute φVn for the cross section shown. Assume f’c = 4,000 psi, fyt = 40,000 psi, d = 22 in., w = 16.5 in., t = 4 in., and that there are four No. 8 longitudinal tension bars and No. 3 stirrups at 6 in. o.c.

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.

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 4,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

For a beam with stirrup hooks, the free end of the bar must extend at least _____ from the hook. Assume b1 = 35 in., b2 = 11 in., d1 = 6 in., d2 = 25 in., and that there are three No. 7 longitudinal tension bars and No. 3 stirrups at 6 in. o.c. The stirrup hooks are 90°.

Compute φVn for the cross section shown. Assume f’c = 4,000 psi, fyt = 60,000 psi, b = 14 in., d = 23 in., and that there are four No. 7 longitudinal tension bars and No. 4 stirrups at 9 in. o.c.

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 9 No. 6 bars at a depth of 16 in. The top row contains 7 No. 7 bars at a depth of 12 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

Compute φVn for the cross section shown. Assume f’c = 8,000 psi, fyt = 40,000 psi, d = 23 in., w = 15.5 in., t = 5 in., and that there are four No. 9 longitudinal tension bars and No. 4 stirrups at 10 in. o.c.
