1. answer to Problem 8.9 is 44,114 lb.

2. answer to Problem 9.15 is:

10

#11 bars)

(One ans. 20 in. by 40 in. column with

change 9 #11 bars to 10 #11 bars

3. p. 154, fig. (g) L3 should be L2

4. p. 326, step 1, remove kl/r at the very end.
5. p. 327, step 12, change to
6. p. 324, in the last equation for , the term > 1.0 should align with . It should not be in
the denominator.
7. p. 330, 4th eqn., change 89.6 to 32, change 219.8 to to 141.2 ft-k.
Under selecting reinforcement, change e = (12)(141.2)/542 = 3.13 in.
Change Rn = (0.643)(3.13)/18 = 0.111
On next line, change z = 0.010
last line before Section 11.11, change Az to As and (0.010)(18)(18) = 3.24 in2
change 8 #9 bars to 6 #7 bars.
8. p. 332, under item (2), Max klu/4 to be a. should be Max klu/r to be
a.
9. p. 335, item (c), change Pc = 780/1.95 = 400 k to Pc = 780/1.952 = 205 k. On the next line,
in the equation for d, change 400 to 205 and change 1.05 to 1.096. Change step (d) to Mc
= (1.0) (35.5) + (1.096)(76.8) = 119.7ft-k. Then in step (6), change
Loading III from 116.1 to 119.7 ft-k.
10. Problem 10.13, change answer from 199 kips to 340 kips
11. Problem 10.24, add to the problem statement, Use 6 #9 bars, three in each face.
12. answer to Problem 11.3 should be (0.94, 0.90)
13. answer to Prob. 11.5 is = 1.15, 6 #7 bars
14. In the Problem statements for Problem 11.8 to 11.12 and 11.14 to 11.17, change ACI
Equation 10-12 to ACI Equation 10-15. Make the same change in the problem statement
for Problem 11.7.

15. In the problem statement for Problem 11.13, change ACI Equation 10-11 to ACI Equation
10-14.
16. Problem 11.14, change M1ns from 90 to 80 and M2ns from 80 to 90.
17. answer to Prob. 11.13 is = 1.87, 8 #14 bars
18. answer to Prob. 11.15 is 6 #11 bars
19. answer to Prob. 11.23 is 6 #32 bars
20. answer to Problem 12.13 should be (ans: 4 #6, 14 in. into footing, 13.5 in. into column)
21. answer to Problem 12.15 should be (ans: 7 ft. 0 in. x 11 ft. 8 in footing, 24 in. deep, 8 #8
in long direction)
22. answer to Problem 18.5 should be (Ans 8-in. wall with #7 bars @ 5 in., 2 layers)
22. answer to Problem 18.7 should be (Ans 12-in. wall with #9 bars @ 3 in., one layer)
23. answer tp Problem 21.1 (lateral forces: roof, 73.2k, 6th level, 138.8k;5th level, 110.6k; 4th
level, 82.8k; 3rd level, 55.4k; 2nd level, 28.6k)
24. answer to Problem 21.3 (Mn = 270 ft-k, Vu = 45k)
25. Page 7 two places replace 3 years with three years
26. Page 11 make the paragraph beginning Several commnts . . . a continuation of the
previous paragraph to eliminate the one-sentence paragraph.
27. Page 14 first line of text replace mixed together with mixed. Use of the word
together is redundant.
28. Page 23 line 17 0.04 in should be 0.04 in2.
29. Page 23 - line 26 0.32 should be 0.16
30. Table 1.1 Page 26 the area listed for a No 11 bar should be 1.56 instead of 1.41
31. Page 47/48/49 Example 2.6/2.7 in the symbol for concrete strength, the sub c is not
aligned directly below the prime. This occurs once on page 47, three times on page 48,
and once of page 49.
32. Page 69 Example 3.1, first equation in the sub c, the C is upper case. It should be
lower case.
33. Page 88 second line below the last equation replace plotted with listed

34. Page 103 table at bottom of page replace in the table headings fy( and f c(with
fy (psi) and f c(psi)
35. Page 120 in the second equation, replace 9.58 with 9.51
36. Page 127/128 In the 3rd equation of Example 5.7 in the calculation for c, the value of b
(14) is omitted from the denominator. It should be:
c

(6.25 2.00)(60)
8.40 in.
(0.85)(3)(0.85)(14)

37. Page 128 last line of text units should be in not in2. This occurs in two places.
38. Page 130 replace the last paragraph with:
Writing the quadratic equation c is found to equal 11.24 in and a = 9.55 in.
