What is the formula for the design load at the ultimate limit state?
w = 1.35 G_k + 1.5 Q_k
w = 1.0 G_k + 1.0 Q_k
w = 1.5 G_k + 1.35 Q_k
w = 1.25 G_k + 1.5 Q_k
What is the formula for the design load at the serviceability limit state?
w = 1.35 G_k + 1.5 Q_k
w = 1.0 G_k + 1.0 Q_k
w = 1.5 G_k + 1.35 Q_k
w = 1.25 G_k + 1.5 Q_k
What is the formula for calculating the self-weight of a beam?
Unit weight of concrete × b_w × h
Unit weight of steel × length × width
Density of material × volume
Mass × acceleration
Which of the following is considered a permanent action (G_k) in loadings?
Self-weight of slabs
Loads from moving objects/people
Wind loads
Snow loads
What type of load is classified as a variable action (Q_k)?
Loads from moving objects/people
Self-weight of the beam
Finishes/building services
Point loads from secondary beams
What does the symbol "d" represent in the context of effective depth?
Distance from the compression face to the center of the tension reinforcement
Distance from the compression face to the center of the compression reinforcement
Total height of the structure
Width of the reinforcement bar
How is the effective depth "d" calculated?
d = h + cover + Ø_link + Ø_bar/2
d = h - cover - Ø_link - Ø_bar/2
d = cover + Ø_link + Ø_bar/2
d = h - cover + Ø_link + Ø_bar/2
What does the symbol "d’" represent in the context of effective depth?
Distance from the compression face to the center of the tension reinforcement
Distance from the compression face to the center of the compression reinforcement
Total height of the structure
Width of the reinforcement bar
How is the effective depth "d’" calculated?
d’ = h - cover - Ø_link - Ø_bar/2
d’ = cover + Ø_link + Ø_bar/2
d’ = h + cover + Ø_link + Ø_bar/2
d’ = cover - Ø_link - Ø_bar/2
What is the purpose of determining the design moments (M) in the reinforcement design process?
