Direction: Solve the following question neatly and correctly.

1. Design a cantilever projecting out from a room slab extending 1.0m and to be used as balcony
(LL = 300 kg/m²). A brick wall of 250 mm thickness including plaster of 1.0m height is provided
at the end of cantilever fc’ = 17.25 MPa, fy = 300 MPa, Slab thickness of room = 125 mm. Slab
bottom steel in the direction of cantilever is 13mm diameter RSB @ 190 mm center to center
spacing. In determining load, consider all weight that may occur. Use 75mm thick for brick
ballast and 60mm for floor finishes.

2. Design a rectangular tied and spiral column to accept the following service dead and live loads.
Ignore length effects. (Including bar and ties)
PDL = 630 KN Fc’ = 27.60 MPa
PLL = 950 KN Fy = 414 MPa

3. Design an isolated footing to support an interior column 25 cm × 60 cm in cross section that

carries a dead load of 60 tons, a live load of 40 tons, a dead load moment of 15 t.m, and a live
load moment of 10 t.m (service loads and moments). Use fc’ = 250 kg/cm², fy = 4200 kg/cm²,
qall(gross) = 2.0 kg/cm³, Unit Weight of soil = 1.7 t/m³, and Df = 2.0 m.
Note that there is no restriction on foundation projections on any side of the footing.
