Assignment 1: Structural Design of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams for Bending

Engineering
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Beam of 25" depth and 12" width is sufficient.

I've attached a detailed section of the beam.

Explanation:

We are given;

Beam Span; L = 20 ft

Dead load; DL = 0.50 k/ft

Live load; LL = 0.65 k/ft.

Beam width; b = 12 inches

From ACI code, ultimate load is given as;

W_u = 1.2DL + 1.6LL

Thus;

W_u = 1.2(0.5) + 1.6(0.65)

W_u = 1.64 k/ft

Now, ultimate moment is given by the formula;

M_u = (W_u × L²)/8

M_u = (1.64 × 20²)/8

M_u = 82 k-ft

Since span is 20 ft, it's a bit larger than the average span beams, thus, let's try a depth of d = 25 inches.

Effective depth of a beam is given by the formula;

d_eff = d - clear cover - stirrup diameter - ½Main bar diameter

Now, let's adopt the following;

Clear cover = 1.5"

Stirrup diameter = 0.5"

Main bar diameter = 1"

Thus;

d_eff = 25" - 1.5" - 0.5" - ½(1")

d_eff = 22.5"

Now, let's find steel ratio(ρ) ;

ρ = Total A_s/(b × d_eff)

Now, A_s = ½ × area of main diameter bar

Thus, A_s = ½ × π × 1² = 0.785 in²

Let's use Nominal number of 3 bars as our main diameter bars.

Thus, total A_s = 3 × 0.785

Total A_s = 2.355 in²

Hence;

ρ = 2.355/(22.5 × 12)

ρ = 0.008722

Design moment Capacity is given;

M_n = Φ * ρ * Fy * b * d²[1 – (0.59ρfy/fc’)]/12

Φ is 0.9

f’c = 4,000 psi = 4 kpsi

fy = 60,000 psi = 60 kpsi

M_n = 0.9 × 0.008722 × 60 × 12 × 22.5²[1 - (0.59 × 0.008722 × 60/4)]/12

M_n = 220.03 k-ft

Thus: M_n > M_u

Thus, the beam of 25" depth and 12" width is sufficient.

A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle
kakasveta [241]

The system includes a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a bit of clay transferring towards it, as proven withinside the determine above.

<h3>What is the angular momentum?</h3>

The angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.

Conservation of angular momentum the precept of conservation of angular momentum states that the whole angular momentum is usually conserved.

  1. Li = Lf where;
  2. li is the preliminary second of inertia
  3. If is the very last second of inertia
  4. wi is the preliminary angular velocity
  5. wf is the very last angular velocity
  6. Li is the preliminary angular momentum
  7. Lf is the very last angular momentum

Thus, the angular momentum of the device earlier than and after the clay sticks can be the same.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(a) High power density

Explanation:

The power density of a material is the amount of power per unit volume of the material. Power density, in the context of transformers, fuel cells, batteries, motors, and power supply units, is measured with respect to the volume, and the units is given as W/m³

A system such as a capacitor with an high power density has the capacity to put out large energy amount from a small volume. A capacitor with a high power density, can produce the same power output as a car battery and is said to have a high power density.
