A reinforced concrete floor system consists of a 3-in. concrete slab supported by continuous-span T-beams of 24-ft spans. The T-beams are spaced 4 ft-8 in. o.c. The web dimensions, determined by negative moment and shear requirements at the supports, are shown. Select the steel required at midspan to resist a total positive design moment Mu of 500 ft.-kip (this includes the weight of the floor system). Use f′c=3000 psi and fy=60,000 psi.

Braced cuts

The braced cut is a method of providing lateral support to the soil in foundation trenches, to prevent the trenches from deformation by the caving in of soil and resisting it from moving laterally. During shallow excavation in firm soil, generally, slopes are provided to resist the caving in of soil. During shallow excavation in soft soil and deep excavation, the chances of caving in of soil increase. Hence, it becomes necessary to make a provision to resist the deformation of trenches due to caving in of soil. The braced cut is the method used for such conditions. The excavation using braced cuts is a bit uneconomical as compared to the traditional open-cut excavation method but provides better safety than the cut excavation method.
