A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. and is reinforced with 2 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 9,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth to the neutral surface is c = 0.750123 in., determine the strain in the reinforcement.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 8 bars. The concrete strength is 4,900 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the seismic design category using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IIISite Class ASS = 0.25, S1 = 0.10

Determine As,min for the following beam given that f’c = 5,000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi.

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing a partially-enclosed building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 5 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 115 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the external pressure coefficient GCpf on Zone 2E for Load Case A.

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the design earthquake spectral response acceleration parameter at short period, SD1, using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IVSite Class CSS = 0.25, S1 = 0.10

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an enclosed building. The mean roof height is 25 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 145 mph. Assume that exposure category B is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the MWFRS design wind pressure, p, on Zone 1E using the negative value of GCpi for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.
