Concept explainers

Composite Construction

Composite construction is the construction of structures in which two or more materials are used. Regarding structural engineering, composite construction is a construction where two materials are bound together in a technical manner such that both the materials act as a single unit to carry and transfer the load. The motives of composite construction are to increase the structural strength, make structures more aesthetic, and provide a sustainable environment.

Question

# Understanding Concrete Beam Design

## Problem Statement:

We have a **rectangular reinforced concrete beam** with the following details:

- Dimensions:
- Width (\( b \)) = 14 inches
- Depth (\( d \)) = 25 inches
- Height (\( h \)) = 28 inches
- Reinforcement:
- Three No. 10 bars
- Material Strengths:
- Yield strength of steel (\( f_y \)) = 60,000 psi
- Compressive strength of concrete (\( f'_c \)) = 5,000 psi

### Tasks:

a. **Cracking Moment:**
- Calculate based on the uncracked transformed section.

b. **Maximum Moment without Excessive Stress:**
- Determine the maximum moment the beam can carry without:
- Concrete stress exceeding 0.45 \( f'_c \)
- Steel stress exceeding 0.6 \( f_y \)
- **Hint:** Assume the maximum compressive stress in the concrete is 0.45 \( f'_c \). Check if the maximum steel stress reaches 0.6 \( f_y \). This helps identify which limit is reached first.

c. **Nominal Moment Capacity:**
- Calculate the nominal moment capacity of the beam.

This problem requires understanding the material properties and structural design principles to ensure the beam's performance under various stress conditions.

Q2) Now, the live load increases gradually and the moment at the critical section just exceeds the cracking moment (Mcr), but the compressive section of the concrete is still under the linear elastic region. Please be reminded that in the flexural design, the crack of the concrete section starts where the tensile stress reaches the tensile strength. It is assumed that the cracks then propagate rapidly up to the entire tension section (up to the neutral axis) and this cracked concrete section cannot resist the tension. It should be noted that in reality, concrete sections between the primary cracks can still resist some tensile stresses as shown in the figure, which should be considered in the displacement design. However, in flexure design, we design the critical section…
