The three parts of this problem refer to the floor plan shown in the figure. Assume that the entire floor system is constructed sand normal weight concrete that has compressive strength, fc= 4000psi. Also assume that the longitudinal steel has a yield strength, fy=40 ksi, and that the transverse steel has a yield strength off yt= 40ksi. The slab
The three parts of this problem refer to the floor plan shown in the figure. Assume that the entire floor system is
constructed sand normal weight concrete that has compressive strength, fc= 4000psi. Also assume that the
longitudinal steel has a yield strength, fy=40 ksi, and that the transverse steel has a yield strength off yt= 40ksi. The slab thickness is 6”, with a superimposed dead load of 18 psf and live load of 26 psf.
a).Design the spandrel beam between columns B1 and C1 for bending, shear, and torsion. Check that all of the
appropriate ACI Code requirements for strength, minimum-reinforcement area, and reinforcement spacing are satisfied.
b): Design the spandrel beam between columns A1 and A2 for bending, shear, and torsion. Check that all of the
appropriate ACI Code requirements for strength, minimum-reinforcement area, and reinforcement spacing are satisfied.
c). Design the spandrel beam between columns B2 and C2 for bending, shear, development length, and
splicing. Check that all of the appropriate ACI Code requirements for strength, minimum-reinforcement area, and
reinforcement spacing are satisfied. Draw the section with the top and bottom reinforcements, according to the ACI
detail specifications for a beam diagram for flexure, shear and development length and splicing.
