Problems: all but 10A, B, & C from Ambrose & Tripeny, Chapters 12 & 13, pgs 405, 428 & 429. Note: Problems marked with a * have been altered with respect to the problem stated in the text.
10A) Determine the capacity of the welded connection shown. The weld size is 3/16 in.. Assume the base metal is A36 steel and electrodes are E70XX in each problem. Use L = 4.5”. (LRFD connection analysis) Partial answers to check with:
Problem 12.2.D. Using data from Table 12.1, select the lightest steel deck for the Two-span condition, span of 6 ft, total load of 50 psf. (decking design charts) Partial answers to check with: WR
10B) For the singly reinforced concrete beam sections described below, determine i) depth of the compressive stress block ii) acceptability of reinforcement ratio to minimum and maximums iii) design moment capacity. (reinforced concrete beam analysis)
Problem 13.3.C. USE US UNITS. Find the area of steel reinforcement required and select the bars for the beam in Problem 13.3.A if the section dimensions are b = 16 in [406 mm], and d = 32 in. [813 mm]. (Problem 13.3.A is listed NEXT.) (reinforced concrete beam design) Partial answers to check with: 6- #6 (least area)
_Problem 13.3.A_*. USE US UNITS. A rectangular concrete beam has f’ c = 3000 psi [20.7 MPa] and steel with fy = 40 ksi [276 MPa]. Select the beam dimensions and reinforcement for a balanced section maximum reinforcement ratio if the beam sustains a moment as a result of dead load of 60 k-ft [81.4 kN-m] and a moment as a result of live load of 90 k-ft [122 kN-m]. The
a tensile strain of 0.005. If the area is too big for the number of bars to fit, make the beam deeper and wider, but check Rn for a revised reinforcement ratio. (reinforced concrete beam design)
10.5 in., h > 21.375 in., bars won’t fit in 11 in., possible number of bars is 3 or 4.
10C) A 24 ft long, simply supported beam carries only a uniform live load, wL, The beam has the following cross-sectional properties: b = 14”, d = 26 in, h = 30”, fy = 60 ksi, f’ c = 3000 psi, As = 5 - #8 bars. Determine the maximum distributed service live load the beam can carry. Include the weight of the beam. (reinforced concrete beam analysis and load factors)
