Homework:

1. For each assigned problem, calculate the development length required for the following tension
bars. All bars are bottom bars in normal-weight concrete unless specified otherwise in the
notes.

Clear Clear
No Bar f’c (ksi) fy (ksi) Notes
cover (in) spacing (in)
a 8 4 60 2.0 2.25
b 9 5 60 2.0 2.30 Lightweight, aggregate concrete
c 10 4 60 2.0 2.80 Epoxy coated
d 11 3 40 2.5 2.50 Topbars, lightweight aggregate concrete

2. A reinforced concrete simple beam has a rectangular section with a width of b=10 in. and
effective depth of d=20in. At design moment failure, the strain in the steel was recorded and
was equal to 0.0020. (the strain in concrete at failure may be assumed to be at 0.003). Use
f’c=3ksi and fy=50ksi for all parts.
a. Check if the section is balanced, tension controlled, or compression controlled.
b. Determine the steel area that will make the section balanced.

3. Design the necessary shear reinforcement (if needed) in the form of U- stirrups (two legs) for
the T-section shown in the figure. Use f’c=4ksi (28 MPa) and fy=60 ksi (420 MPa)
a.Vu= 60k
b.Vu=26k
c.Vu= 70k

4. A beam of rectangular cross section having b=20in and h=15in. is to carry a total factored load of
3000lb/ft uniformly distributed over its 25 ft span, and in addition the beam will be subjected to
a uniformly distributed torsion of 1790 ft-lb/ft at factored loads. Closed stirrup ties will be used
to provide the flexural shear and torsion, placed with stirrup steel centroid, 1.75 in. from each
concrete face. The corresponding flexural effective depth will be approximately 12in. Design the
transverse reinforcement for this beam and calculate the increment of longitudinal steel area
needed to provide for torsion using f’c=4000psi and fy=60,000psi.
