Concept explainers

Bars

In civil engineering, bars refer to steel reinforcement bars or rebars. These are structural members primarily used for reinforcement purposes in masonry works. A bar is characterized by its cross-sectional area, which is negligible compared to its length. Bars are usually manufactured by steel which is uniform throughout the length, or by meshing multiple steel wires. Other materials of the bar include carbon steel, glass fiber, carbon fiber, and basalt fiber. The reinforcing bars are coated with epoxy resins and other materials to enhance some of their properties including corrosion resistance.

PLEASE ANSWER IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN A beam is made of four pieces of wood in the shape shown. The pieces are attached to each other using nails. The spacing between the nails on the top board (s') and the side board (s) are unknown. If it is known that the beam is under a vertical shear of 600 N and the nails have a maximum load of 100 N, determine the required nail spacing. Take the distance (a) as 1 cm, (b) as 2 cm and (c) as 1.5 cm. If glue was used instead of nails, would the shear flow change? Use number to justify your response. Please make sure the answer is correct 100% and be accurate in your answer
how to calculate the self weight of column of wood. using yhis information, "The column experiences only the transferred weight from the support reaction of one end of the beam and the self-weight of the column. So you should first start by calculating V_Ed for the beam and then add the self-weight of the column as another point load". calculate with an exampel.
