Determine the lightweight modification factor, λ, for a rectangular beam with b = 17 in. and d = 22 in., four uncoated No. 7 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the top of the beam, and No. 3 Grade 40 stirrups located every 10 in. along the span. Assume 6,000-psi lightweight concrete and a clear cover of 1.5 in.

Headed bars generally have longer development lengths than hooked bars.

Determine the lightweight modification factor, λ, for a rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and d = 21 in., four galvanized No. 9 Grade 60 tension-reinforcement bars placed in the bottom of the beam, and No. 4 Grade 60 stirrups located every 8 in. along the span. Assume 6,000-psi normal-weight concrete and a clear cover of 2 in.

A rectangular beam with cross section b = 16 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. supports a total factored uniform load of 3.00 kips/ft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supported with a 20-ft span. It is reinforced with five No. 7 Grade 60 bars, three of which are cutoff between midspan and the support and two of which extend 10 in. past the centers of the supports. The concrete strength is 7,500 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. The strength of the five bars is φMn = 251.3 kip-ft, and the strength of the remaining two bars is φMn = 103.4 kip-ft. Determine the distance from the support to the theoretical cutoff point (i.e. disregard ACI 318-14 Section 9.7.3.3).

A rectangular beam with cross section b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. supports a total factored uniform load of 2.70 kips/ft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supported with a 24-ft span. It is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars, three of which are cutoff between midspan and the support and two of which extend 10 in. past the centers of the supports. The concrete strength is 6,300 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. The strength of the five bars is φMn = 354.1 kip-ft, and the strength of the remaining two bars is φMn = 148.4 kip-ft. Determine the distance from the support to the theoretical cutoff point (i.e. disregard ACI 318-14 Section 9.7.3.3).

Inclined stirrups are an effective solution for resisting seismic loads.

Smooth bars are generally not used as longitudinal reinforcement because _______.

Determine the bar-spacing factor, cb, for a simply supported rectangular beam with b = 16 in. and No. 3 stirrups. This beam has four No. 7 bars as longitudinal reinforcement. The clear cover is 2 in.

A rectangular beam with cross section b = 16 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. supports a total factored uniform load of 3.60 kips/ft, including its own dead load. The beam is simply supported with a 22-ft span. It is reinforced with four No. 8 Grade 60 bars, two of which are cutoff between midspan and the support and two of which extend 10 in. past the centers of the supports. The concrete strength is 4,500 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups satisfying ACI 318-14 Sections 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3.3. The strength of the four bars is φMn = 340.6 kip-ft, and the strength of the remaining two bars is φMn = 175.8 kip-ft. If the distance from the support to the theoretical cutoff point is 6.170 ft, determine the distance from the support to the actual cutoff point (i.e. use ACI 318-14 Section 9.7.3.3).
