Estimate the shrinkage that will occur in a four-story wood-frame wall that uses Hem-Fir framing lumber. Consider a decrease in moisture content from 15 to 8 percent. Framing is typical platform construction with 2 x 12 floor joints resting on bearing walls. Wall framing is conventional 2 X studs with a typical single 2 x bottom plate and double 2 x top plates. See Fig. 4.7.

Question 5 a) The stability and strength of a frame may be enhanced by the infill wall, but for design purposes the frame is considered independently therefore settlement of the frame and differential thermal movement must be absorbed between the two elements. Possible constructional form of a lintel is shown in Fig. 1 below. What stresses is the reinforcing bar included supposed to withstand or resist? Fig. 1
Compute for the nominal strength for the rectangular section beams having the following specifications: Beam Beam Width Beam Depth f'c/fy No. of Bars 12" 20" 3,500 psi / 40,000 psi 3 pcs. - No. 7 14" 22" 4,500 psi/ 60,000 psi 4 pcs. - No. 8 14" 24" 4,000 psi / 40,000 psi 4 pcs. - No. 8 Assume that you have a concrete cover of 2.5" (up to the stirrup and half of main bar diameter) Check for the ACI specifications/provisions. Which of the beams that gives the highest nominal strength? Draw the beam details using the ACI code. Write your solutions properly and indicate your final answer with a box.

Q: In an attempt to construct a precast building, the architectural in engineer proposed a 400 mm width for a simply supported single reinforced concrete rectangular beam. Design this beam and assume your design that: fc = 25 MPa, fy = 400 MPa, L = 6 m, D.L = 160 kN/m (include self-weight), L.L = 150 kN/m, concrete weight = 24 kN/m3, bar diameter of 25 mm for longitudinal reinforcement and bar diameters 10 mm for stirrups.
Refer to the diagram of precast concrete building below and answer the following questions. What type of precast concrete element directly supports this building's floors? Precast walls Precast "T" beams Precast "L" girders Precast Columns
Design the reinforced concrete wall shown if fc’ = 2100 psi and fy = 40000 psi
