The most effective way of changing the nominal flexural strength of a beam would generally be by _______.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 3,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

(05.02 MC)Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat butterflies and moths, yet birds rarely eat the monarchs. Likewise, the monarch caterpillars are brightly striped yellow and white and black, and they also are rarely eaten by birds, although some wasps will attack them and feed them to their young. What can be inferred from these observations?
