A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 12 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 14 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 8,500 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the strength Mn for this beam.

A 77-lb child and a 38-lb cardboard box are on an oak beam. Determine the vertical reaction force at the left end of the beam. Let a = 24 in., b = 32 in., and c = 50 in.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 28 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 25.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 5 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. For the results given below, determine the strength Mn for this beam.a = 6.102 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 201.8 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 35.2 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 237.0 kips (tensile force in steel)

A 30-lb cardboard box sits on an oak beam. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam if the weight is modeled as distributed load w = 1.0714 lb/in. Let a = 38 in. and b = 28 in.

A classmate has suggested a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 9 bars. Assuming a cover of 1.5 in. and a stirrup diameter of 0.5 in., does the reinforcement fit within a single row as suggested?

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 12 in., and d = 9.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 5,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the neutral axis is c = 1.52 in., does the reinforcement yield?

[U2Q] Tanya is the behaver. Which of the following is an example of an antecedent?

A 84-lb child and a 23-lb cardboard box are on an oak beam. Determine the vertical reaction force at the left end of the beam. Let a = 23 in., b = 34 in., and c = 49 in.

A force of P = 24 N is applied to a lever at the end of a composite shaft. Sleeve (1) has a polar moment of inertia of 79,900 mm4 and a shear modulus of 1.1 GPa. Core (2) has a polar moment of inertia of 23,000 mm4 and a shear modulus of 0.6 GPa. Determine the torque produced in sleeve (1). Let a = b = 230 mm.
