Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.23QP
Three standard mortar cubes were made using nonpotable water available at the job site, and three others were made using potable water. The cubes were tested for compressive strength after 7 days of curing and produced the failure loads in kips shown in Table P6.23.
The Vicat test was conducted on the cement paste made with the questionable water and showed that the set time was 45 minutes more than the set time of paste made with potable water. Based on these results, would you accept that water for mixing concrete according to ASTM standards? Explain why.
TABLE P6.23
| Nonpotable Water | Potable Water |
| 15.8 | 16.9 |
| 16.4 | 18.7 |
| 16.6 | 17.4 |

A reinforced concrete beam with b=300mm, h=670mm,and d=600 mm, having
a span of 7.3 m, can be considered as a fully fixed at the left support and simply
supported at the right end. It is reinforced for positive bending with 8-16 and for
negative bending with 4816 plus 418. Calculate the collapse load using the plastic
hinge method. (20%)
