A normal weight, concrete Beam has the following properties: b = 15", d = 21", h = 24", f'c = 5000 psi. What is the highest shear the beam could handle on the list below without requiring stirrups for strength? 34.5 kips 15.5 kips 31.1 kips 17.7 kips

How is concrete consolidated?

Why is concrete classified and measured separately in different categories?

Use the composite beam tables and select a W-shape and stud anchors for the following conditions: Span length = 18 6 Beam spacing = 9 ft Total slab thickness = 51 2 in. (the slab and deck combination weighs 57 psf). Lightweight concrete with a unit weight of 115 pcf is used Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Live load = 225 psf Fy=50 ksi and fc=4 ksi A cross section of the formed steel deck is shown in Figure P9.8-9. The maximum live-load deflection cannot exceed L/360 (use a lower-bound moment of inertia). a. Use LRFD. b. User ASD.

Note For Problems 9.6-1 through 9.6-5, use the lower-bound moment of inertia for deflection of the composite section. Compute this as illustrated in Example 9.7. 9.6-5 For the beam of Problem 9.4-2. a. Compute the deflections that occur before and after the concrete has cured. b. It the live toad deflection exceeds L360 , select another steel shape using either LRFD or ASD.

A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter 0. 510 inch. For each increment of load applied, the strain was directly determined by means of a strain gage attached to the specimen. The results are, shown in Table: 1.5.1. a. Prepare a table of stress and strain. b. Plot these data to obtain a stress-strain curve. Do not connect the data points; draw a best-fit straight line through them. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the best-fit line.

Note For Problems 9.6-1 through 9.6-5, use the lower-bound moment of inertia for deflection of the composite section. Compute this as illustrated in Example 9.7. 9.6-1 Compute the following deflections for the beam in Problem 9.2-1. a. Maximum deflection before the concrete has cured. b. Maximum total deflection after composite behavior has been attained.

Note For Problems 9.6-1 through 9.6-5, use the lower-bound moment of inertia for deflection of the composite section. Compute this as illustrated in Example 9.7. 9.6-2 Compute the following deflections for the beam in Problem 9.2-2. a. Maximum deflection before the concrete has cured. b. Maximum total deflection after composite behavior has been attained.

The data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2 offset method to determine the yield stress.

A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects: 9 kips compression from dead load 5 kips compression from roof live load 6 kips compression from snow 7 kips compression from 3 inches of rain accumulated on the roof 8 kips compression from wind a. If lead and resistance factor design is used, determine the factored load (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? b. What is the required design strength of the Column? c. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor of 0.90? d. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required load capacity (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? e. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor of 1.67?
