A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.35 psi and p2 = 1.25 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 19 in., L2 = 9 in., and h = 14 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V1 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

A beam has dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 5 bars. The concrete strength is 7,900 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Determine the nominal moment capacity, Mn, of the beam.

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.60 psi and p2 = 1.40 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 14 in., L2 = 6 in., and h = 10 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V2 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

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 15 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 150 mph. Assume that exposure category D is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the velocity pressure, qh.

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 20 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 145 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the MWFRS design wind pressure, p, on Zone 1 using the positive value of GCpi for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 16 in., h = 24 in., d = 21.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.8 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.1 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.
