ACTIVITY 2

PROBLEM 1
Determine the development lengths
needed for the dowels

a) down into the footing

b) up into the column

The concrete in both the column and the

footing is normal weight. Use fy = 414 MPa.
Use 16 mm dia. Rebar.
PROBLEM 2

A reinforced concrete beam has the following properties:

Beam width = 320 mm

Effective depth = 640 mm

f’c = 21 MPa

fy = 400 MPa

If the factored shear force at critical section is 210 KN,

compute the nominal shear carried by the shear
reinforcement.
PROBLEM 3

A rectangular beam has a width of 260 mm and an

overall depth of 470 mm. concrete cover is 60 mm from
the centroid of bars. Concrete compressive strength
f’c = 21 MPa. Steel yield strength fy = 415 MPa for
longitudinal bars and 275 MPa for hoops. Determine
the shear strength provided by concrete using the
simplified calculation (a) if the beam is subjected to
shear and flexure only, and (b) if the beam is subjected
to axial compression force of 80 KN.
