Problem 2: If f = 3 ksi what is the modulus of elasticity Ec and the maximum tensile stress fr that the concrete can carry before cracking (use ACI recommended equations). Assume a unit weight of the plain concrete is: a. Wc = 90- b. w lb lb 118- ft39 ft3) C. W = 160- Problem 3: Wight 3-6 Rugblom 4: Wight ? 7 lb ft3
Estimate the tensile strength required to prevent cracking in a concretelike material that is cast into a bar, 1.25 m long, and is fully restrained ateach end against axial movement. The concrete is initially cast and curedat a temperature of 40°C and subsequently cools to a temperature of –20°C.Assume that the modulus of elasticity is 35 GPa and the thermal coefficient is9 X 10-6m/m/°C.
e. Before loading, the concrete shrinks &z-conc = 0.05 (0.5%). This is less than if it were not restrained by “temperature steel", so the downdrag preloads the steel ơ2-0 = 3,000 psi. When the P = 200K is applied, estimate the final stress in the steel. %3D %3D
