Concrete Member Design Terms & Guidelines

The document contains multiple choice questions testing knowledge of terms related to reinforced concrete design (FA6 & FA7). It addresses topics such as moment strength, shear capacity, liveload reduction factors, reinforcement spacing, development length, hook details, and modification factors. The questions have true/false or multiple choice answers regarding code-defined limits and equations for reinforced concrete design.
