What are some clues in design nomenclature that refers to design strength ? I am having trouble wrapping my head around when to introduce the resistance factor to the nominal strength of a member. From what I understand the "available strength" = "design strength" = Nominal Strength x Resistance Factor.

Is it safe to assume that if a problem statement refers design strength the value must include the resistance factor ?

Expert Solution

.Yes, the understanding is correct.The nominal strength reduced by the 'resistance factor' is termed as the design strength φ Rn.

Following are the reasons to use Φ (phi) factor:

Possible variations in dimensions.
Possible variations in material strength.
Possible inaccuracies in the strength equations.
To ensure a good level of safety of reinforced concrete structures.

If a problem says design strength, then it is already reduced by the resistance factor.

Refer Section 9.3 of ACI 318-14. below is the reference image for the same.

Hi I am having the following problem. At the moment I am trying to create a bode plot for the following function. G(s)=(Ks+3)/((s+2)(s+3)) Note: Not K(s+2)! I then want to plot multiple bode plots for various values of K. Eg. 1,2,3, etc. I am having two separate issues. 1. How do I define the TF with a constant K in the location required (a multiple of s in the numerator) 2. How do I create multiple bode plots for values...

I was able to calculate (a) but I am having trouble with the calculations of (b). Thanks! The following are New York closing rates for A$/US$ and $/£: A$/$ = 1.5150; $/£ = $1.2950 (a) Calculate the cross rate for £ in terms of A$ (A$/£). (b) If £ is trading at A$1.95/£ in London (cross market) on the same day, is there an arbitrage opportunity? If so, show how arbitrageurs with £ could profit from this opportunity and calculate the arbitrage...
