Problem 1.
Design a joist system for the floor below. Assume f’c = 4 ksi, Gr. 60 steel, wDL 30 psf (does not include weight of joist system), wLL = 40 psf. The total height of the joist is 14.5 in. The slab is 2.5 in thick. The width of the joist is 5 in at the bottom.
Include a sketch with the reinforcement.
f'c=4000, fy=60000, t=2.5 in, h=14.5 in

0.054 in²/ft
Choose welded grade 60 wire mesh from manufacture specification sheets to obtain at least 0.054 in²/ft. For example, 4×12-W2.1xW1.4 is 0.063 in²/ft.
Joist Design
Assume only designing interior spans and the beams supporting the joists are as wide as the columns supporting these beams.

Problem 2.
Solve problem 8.14 in your textbook
“In problems 8.11 to 8.19 for the beams and loads given, select stirrup spacings if f'c = 4000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. The dead loads shown include beam weights. Do not consider movement of live loads unless specifically requested. Assume #3 U stirrups.”

“8.19 If the beam in Problem 8.14 has a factored axial compression load of 120 k in addition to other loads, calculate φVc and redesign the stirrups.”
“8.20 Repeat problem 8.19 if the axial load is tensile. use #4 U stirrups.”
