The design base shear of a two - storey reinforced concrete SMRF office building is to be determined. If the base shear computed using the static force procedure is 258.8 KN. which of the following most nearly gives the value of the base shear if the simplified procedure will be utilized? 284.7 kN 336.4 kN 310.6 kN 362.3 kN

A large sign is to be supported on two steel poles, each of the poles which will be supported by a 500 mm diameter drilled shaft embedded into a stiff silty clay. The lateral wind load will be 5.4 kN and will act at a height of 8 m above the ground surface. This load will be equally distributed to the two poles. Assume the undrained shear strength for stiff silty clay is 80 kPa. Assume a factor of safety of 3. Using a rigid analysis (Brom's Method), 1) compute the required depth of embedment and 2) the maximum moment in each drilled shaft.

A beam of a triangular cross-section is subjected to a shear force of 50 kN. The base width of the section is 250 mm and the height is 200 mm. The beam is placed with its base horizontal. The shear stress at a neutral axis will be nearly

A belt is passing over a fixed drum. If the magnitude of the force F is 2.5 kN, determine the angle 8 at which the 4-kN load will just begin to slip (the impending slip of the belt is in the clockwise direction) Assume that µ = 0.25. F = 2.5 kN 8-909 a 4 kN
