Calculate the flexural stresses in the concrete and steel for the beams shown using the transformed-area method
Situation 1: A concrete overhang beam with the section shown is to support a 150 mm thick concrete slab with a tributary width of 2.70 m. The beam also supports a 3.20 m height of 100 mm thick concrete partition wall. Unit weight of concrete is taken to be 24 kN/m. Determine the maximum fiber stresses (tensile & compressive) due to the imposed dead loads. Draw the complete V&M diagrams. Note: Show your Solution in a Step by step
A block of rock in the roof is 12 meters long, 6 meters long and 2 meters thick. This rock is highly laminated and weak but the rock above is massive and highly competent. In practice clearly it should have been brought down and not supported, however this is a course test so anything is possible unfortunately! The rock relative density is 2.5. Resin grouted rebars are to be used with a 20t tensile strength. Resin grout typically holds 5t every 10 cm of grout length. If a factor of safety of 2 is needed (for the block weight and bolt length). What is the minimum number of bolts needed to support the block, how many m² of roof per bolt are needed and what minimum length should they be?
