a$.$ A reinforced concrete flooring system is made up of continuous T$-$beams with webs spaced $36$

inches on center. If the flooring system supports a uniform surface pressure $q_u=500$ psf over a

simply supported span of $24ft,$ what bending moment should the T$-$beams be designed for? Note:

Incorrect units get zero points.

b$.$ The limit state equation for shear is $V_u{V}_n.$ What is the value of $?$

c$.$ A rectangular beam has a width $b=10$ in and an effective depth $d=24$ in and is made with $4000$

psi concrete. What is the maximum shear the beam can support, regardless of stirrup design?

d$.$ The reinforced concrete flooring system in Figure $1$ is continuously supported over three spans. If

the entire slab is to be the same thickness, what is the minimum allowable thickness per ACI$318?$

Round to the nearest inch in the correct direction.

e$.$ An $8-$foot reinforced concrete cantilever beam supports a uniformly distributed load $w_u=1\frac{k}{f}t.$

What is the highest shear the beam must be designed to support?
