Question
**Design Task for a Reinforced Concrete Slab**

Design a 14-ft simply supported reinforced concrete slab to carry a uniform dead load (excluding self-weight) of 110 psf and a uniform live load of 90 psf, using the following parameters:

1. Concrete compressive strength (f'c) = 4 ksi, steel yield strength (fy) = 60 ksi, adhering to ACI Code limitations.
2. Use #4 bars for the Main steel, and #3 bars for the Temperature and Shrinkage steel.
3. Ensure a rebar cover of 3/4 inch.

Provide a detailed sketch of the slab showing its thickness, span, Main steel, and Temperature and Shrinkage steel with their spacings.

**Design a 20-inch Wide Reinforced Concrete Rectangular Beam**

**Specifications:**

1. **Span Length:** 32 ft  
2. **Design Load:**
   - Dead Load (W_D) = 2 k/ft (excluding beam weight)
   - Live Load (W_L) = 1.8 k/ft 
   - ρ = 1/2 ρ_b

**Design Parameters:**

1. **Assumed Beam Weight:** 640 lb/ft
2. **Depth Adjustment:**
   - Round up the value of "d" to the nearest 0.5 inches
   - Use the formula h = d + 2.5
3. **Reinforcement:**
   - Use #10 bars for beam reinforcement
   - Yield Strength (f_y) = 60,000 psi
   - Concrete Strength (f'_c) = 4000 psi
4. **Concrete Weight:** 150 lb/ft³

**Instructions:**

- **Sketch Requirements:** Provide a detailed sketch of the beam cross-section including the following:
  - Bar sizes and arrangement
  - Spacing of reinforcement bars
  - Ensure that the sketch is neat and clearly labeled.
