ICC REINFORCED CONCRETE REVIEW
PACK 2026 SOLVED QUESTIONS AND
ACCURATE ANSWERS
◉ Describe the difference between tensile, flexural, and shear forces.
Answer: Tensile: being pulled apart
Flexural: Flexing
Shear: being bent
◉ Why is fiber used in concrete?.
Answer: To help control cracks
◉ Why do many bridges or piers use epoxy-coated rebar?.
Answer: They are in high corrosion areas
◉ Standard hook.
Answer: a 90º or 180º bend made at the end of a reinforcing bar
according to standards
◉ Stirrups.
, Answer: U, L, or rectangular shaped bars that are wrapped around
longitudinal bars and used to resist shear forces in flexural members
like beams. They usually terminate with 135 degree or 90 degree
bend
◉ Ties.
Answer: Refer to a loop of reinforcing bars that enclose longitudinal
vertical bars, typically used to resist shear and lateral forces in
compression members, terminating with a 135 degree or 90 degree
bend
◉ Spiral.
Answer: Continuously wrapped around longitudinal bars
◉ Deep Foundation Caisson.
Answer: Round concrete columns extending deep into the ground
◉ What is the most common type of reinforcement?.
Answer: CAPTION Rebar
◉ What type of bar has protrusions that significantly improve their
bond with concrete?.
Answer: Deformed Bar
