Concrete is composed of aggregate that is chemically bound together by hydrated _______ cement.

Due to concrete being made up of elastic, brittle materials, its stress-strain curve is linear.

As concrete is loaded and the load redistributes between elements, _______ occurs.

Which symbol is used to represent concrete’s compressive strength?

Flat-plate floors are widely used in apartments because the underside of the slab is flat and can therefore be used as the ceiling of the room below.

Choose the equation that will give the largest factored load when D = 30 kip, L = 2 kip, Lr = 14 kip, and S = 20 kip.

Undesirable vibrations is an example of a _______ limit state.

Drop panels, capitals, and brackets provide extra depth for moment and shear resistance adjacent to columns.

What is progressive collapse?

Given that dead load = 55 psf, live load = 100 psf, roof live load = 40 psf, snow load = 40 psf, and wind load = 25 psf, determine the largest factored load.
