Homework

Question 1

The tied column of Figure has been approximately sized to the dimensions 12
in. x 15 in. It is to be used in a frame braced against sidesway. The column is
bent in single curvature about its y-axis and has an LU of 16 ft. If k = 0.83, fy =
60,000 psi, and f ' c = 4000 psi, determine the reinforcing required. Consider
only bending in the plane of the frame. Note also that the unfactored dead axial
load P D is 30 k, and concrete is normal weight.
Question 2

The beam as in Figure has a simple span of 20 ft and supports a dead load
including its own weight of 1 k/ft and a live load of 0.7 k/ft. f ' c = 3000 psi.
Calculate the instantaneous deflection for D + L.

Question 3

A structural reinforced concrete shear wall in a 5-story building provides lateral

and gravity load resistance for the applied load as shown in the figure below.
Determine the shear and uniformly distributed flexural reinforcement.
The factored axial load N u= 0.9x N D= 0.9x (30+50+50+50+50)=207 kips
Q1 : Design a 6 m tall column to support an unfactored dead load of 400 KN
and an unfactored live load of 334 KN. The loads act at an eccentricity (e 2) of
75 mm at the top and (e 1) 50 mm at the bottom. Assume the section as a square
tied column 400 x 400 mm and ϕ 25, because the column is pinended. K=1
Take f ' c= 28 MPa and. f y= 414 MPa. column in a nonsway frame.

Q2: The cantilever beam shown in the figure below carries an unfactored dead
load of 11.5 kN/m and an un factored live load of 6 kN/m. The beam is located
at a typical floor and supports walls that are not likely to be damaged by
deflection. It is required to calculate the immediate and the long-term deflection
which Time-Dependent Factor is 2. The deflection must not exceed L/ 480.
f ' c =35 , n = 10 , no need to check minimum depth.
