When following the Direct Design Method (DDM) to design a concrete slab, the reinforcement size and spacing are selected based on crack control requirements, bar lengths, and which of the following?
  1. Stresses due to shrinkage and temperature
  2. Soil strength
  3. Moment-shear transfer
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - When following the DDM to design a concrete slab, the reinforcement size and spacing are selected based on crack control requirements, bar lengths, and stresses due to shrinkage and temperature. The moment-shear transfer is addressed by slab thickness, not reinforcing bars. Soil strength is evaluated prior to selecting a slab system as the foundation for the supported structure.
