- An exterior beam, located in Toronto, with a rectangular cross section has a width of 1000mm, height of 1300mm and consists of 12-35M bars, and 10M stirrup. Given that the spacing between the bars is 50mm, how many layers would you need to fit the bars in? f'c = 25 MPa fy = 400 MPa Es = 200GPa Maximum aggregate size: 20mm Minimum required Width value = Blank 1 mm # of layers = Blank 2arrow_forwardInsulated concrete forms (ICF’s) are becoming more and more common. Instead of using temporary forms like lumber to hold poured concrete in place until it has cured, an ICF is essentially a rigid Styrofoam container for a poured wall that is left in place permanently, providing an additional layer of insulation. See the basic layout of an ICF system in Figure 2. The form needs to provide adequate strength to contain the wet concrete (SG=2.4) until it cures. A leak or blowout at the bottom of the form would have a catastrophic effect on construction andsafety. a. What is the maximum pressure that the form needs to withstand if the wall is to be 114 mmthick, 10.67 m wide, and 4.27 m tall? b. What force does the ICF experience?
