A combination of horizontal and vertical reinforcement is used to restrain cracks from opening too wide.

Which of the following is not a common type of splice?

The shear failure of a slender beam without stirrups is slow and predictable.

Assuming Vs does not exceed 4sqrt(f’c)bwd, the maximum spacing for vertical stirrups in the following beam is _____. Let b1 = 28 in., b2 = 14 in., d = 49 in., h1 = 4 in., h2 = 42 in., h3 = 8 in., and t = 7 in. There are six No. 6 longitudinal tension bars and No. 4 stirrups at 11 in. o.c.

A simply-supported beam has a 3 kip/ft uniformly-distributed load over the left half of its 13-ft span. What is the magnitude of the shear force at midspan?

Which of the following is not a common type of splice?

Where there are several layers of reinforcement, a continuous horizontal opening large enough for the concrete vibrator to pass through should be provided.

Stirrups are instrumental in preventing inclined cracks from forming.

A simply-supported beam has a 2 kip/ft uniformly-distributed load over the entire 8-ft span. What is the magnitude of the maximum shear force in the beam?

If φVc = 50 kip and Vu = 58 kip, are stirrups required?
