Question 1

What is the primary risk associated with inadequate anchorage length?

  • Improved strength
  • Structural failure
  • Increased ductility

💡 Hint: Consider the context of how structures respond under load.

Question 2

True or False: Poor stirrup spacing can significantly weaken a structure's ability to resist shear forces.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how these elements work together.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are auditing a construction site and notice that many beams have insufficient anchorage and poor stirrup quality. What steps would you take to rectify these issues?

💡 Hint: Consider both immediate and long-term solutions for structural integrity.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario where an RC building designed without considering adequate confinement at joints has collapsed. Discuss the factors leading to the failure and propose design changes.

💡 Hint: Think about how improvements can enhance ductility.
