Question

Transcribed Image Text:4.5 Since the 1960's, thin-shell concrete roof structures have seldom been utilized in the United
States and Canada primarily because:
a. building codes often make it difficult to obtain approval for their use
b. design fees are substantially greater than for more conventional structures
c. formwork can be prohibitively expensive
d. materials (concrete and steel) are too costly
4.6 A one-way slab is used typically in which of the following types of buildings?
a. Museum
b. Parking
c. Library
d. Warehouse
4.7 The cross section of a conventionally reinforced concrete one-way slab is shown below. Using ACI Table 9.5(a), answer

Notes:
Values given shall be used directly for members with normalweight concrete
and Grade 60 reinforcement. For other conditions, the values shall be modified
as follows:
a) For lightweight concrete having equilibrium density, we in the range of 90
to 115 let, the values shall be multiplied by (1.65-0.005we) but not less
than 1.09.
b) Forf, other than 60,000 psi, the values shall be multiplied by (0.4+ f/100,000)
