Consider a slab that is part of the floor system shown in the Figure. The slab extends by 100 mm beyond the exterior edges of edge and corner columns to support the exterior wall panels. The slab is subjected to a specified superimposed dead load of 2.0 kPa (in addition to its own weight) and a specified live load (LL) of 4.8 kPa. The weight of the exterior panel is 3 kN/m. Use 15M bars for flexural reinforcement and 25 mm clear cover. All columns are 400 x 400 mm. Assume f'c = 25 MPa and fy = 400 MPa. a- Assume that the slab is supported by beams in both directions (along all grid lines). The overall depth of the beams are 600 mm (includes slab thickness) and width, bw=350 mm. i) Determine the minimum slab thickness for the most critical panel. ii) Assuming a slab thickness of 200 mm, design the slab in the E-W direction (for grid line 1). iii) Determine the design moments in the beams and the slab. Determine the amount and distribution of reinforcement in the slab. Show the details of your design on a neat sketch. b) Assume the slab is supported on columns only with the slab extending by 100 mm beyond the column lines around the perimeter of the slab. Assume the slab thickness is 250 mm. Determine the slab-ve and +ve moments within the column and middle strips for a slab strip along gridline 1. At this stage, assume the slab thickness is adequate to carry the applied shear (both one-way and two-way). i) Determine the amount and size of reinforcement for the slab. ii) Determine whether the slab meets the one-way shear requirements including corner column A1. iii) Determine whether the slab can carry two-way shear around the interior column B2. Include the effect of unbalanced shear-moment transfer in your design. c) Determine the slab moments and reinforcement for both slabs in parts a) and b) (with beams, h=200 mm and without beams, h=250 mm) using the SAFE/ETABS computer program. Compare the computer solution with the Direct Design Method. Comment on your results. 8.0 m 8.0 m 3 8.0 m 4 8.0 m 7.5 m 8.0 m 400 x 400 mm columns (typical) N?
Determine the maximum factored bending moment and shear force for G1, G2, B1 and B2 and the maximum axial load for column C1 identified in the figure below and provided structural drawing based on the original design loads. Calculate the respective values for load cases 1, 2 and 3 and show in a summary table. Show the bending moment and shear force diagram for B1 and G1. Provide a drawing showing the tributary area of all five considered members
7. Study Deep foundations video #6 and take notes on your Reader. Answer the following questions: What are the two resistances that contribute to pile capacity? -. Why is fs a t? If a pile is designed to support upwards (i.e., “pullout") loading only, should one consider the end bearing resistance for design?
Assignment 2: Commercial Interior Elevations and Building Sections Description For this assignment, you'll continue the commercial field survey started in Assignment 1. Now you'll be focused on vertical views and heights, drawing the interior elevations of your documented reception desk, break room, and restroom. For this assignment, pay special attention to architectural millwork. Draw the door and drawer fronts as they have been built. Also include hardware, baseboards, toe kicks, backsplashes, outlets, appliances, fixtures, equipment, toilet partitions, accessible paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers, mirrors, grab bars, etc. Make note of code required vertical clearances for accessibility. Note where the current conditions are compliant as well as where current conditions violate code as applicable. Indicate dropped ceilings and include plenum space to the structural slab or roof system above. Identify and draw soffits, fascias, lighting, wayfinding signage, switches, etc. Required Materials - BID Supply kit - Weekly lectures and readings - Adobe Creative Cloud - AutoDesk AutoCAD
Topic 1 - Cause and solution of Air pollution Question 1 Air pollution has been a concern for many decades and experts in the field have been working to understand the causes in order to reduce them, what are the main causes that we see today and to what extent has the problem been reduced within the context of the EU? Support your views with relevant examples. Question 2 Will electric cars provide a sustainable solution? Electric cars have several benefits over conventional engines, including a significant reduction of local air pollution, especially in cities, as they do not emit harmful pollutants such as hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide but what are the drawbacks and concerns?
4-56. The rigid bar supports the 4-kN load. Determine the normal stress in each A-36 steel cable if each cable has across-sectional area of 25 mm^2. 4-57. The rigid bar is originally horizontal and is supported by two A-36 steel cables each having a cross-sectional area of 25 mm^2. Determine the rotation of the bar when the 4-kN load is applied.
Extra Credit (10 pts): On January 1, 2014, Cassandra Incorporated paid $300,000 for 60% of Hecuba Company's outstanding capital stock. Hecuba reported common stock on that date of $250,000 and retained earnings of $100,000. On that date, • Hecuba's equipment with a 5-year remaining life was undervalued by $10,000; • Hecuba's buildings with a 10-year remaining life was undervalued by $60,000; • Any remaining fair value/book value differential is allocated to goodwill. The income statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 of Cassandra and Hecuba are summarized below: Sales Income from Hecuba Cost of sales Depreciation equipment Depreciation - buildings Net Income Cassandra I/S Hecuba I/S $1,000,000 $400,000 Hecuba's net income and dividends paid the first two years that Cassandra owned them are shown below.
