REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN (CE 502)
PRELIM EXAMINATION
1ST Semester – S.Y. 2018-2019
Instructions: Write your final answer in the questionnaire. Show the
complete solution for each situation. There will be deduction in points
for incomplete solution.
Topics Covered:
1. Design of Beams for Flexure – Singly, Doubly, and T
Beams
2. Design of Beams for Shear and Torsion
Situation 1. A 6 m reinforced concrete beam carries a dead load of
45 kN/m (including beam weight) and live load of 65 kN/m. Given the
following properties, b = 350 mm, d = 500 mm, f’ c = 27.5 MPa , fy =
414 MPa.
a. Singly Analysis. Compute the ultimate moment capacity of the
beam if contains maximum tension steel reinforcement. (Disregard
the loads)
b. Doubly Analysis. Compute for the required compression steel
area. Use d’ = 80 mm.
Situation 2. A 5 m reinforced concrete beam carries a dead load of
60 kN/m (including beam weight) and live load of 85 kN/m. Given the
following beam properties, b = 360 mm, d = 560 mm, f’c = 27.6 MPa ,
fy = 414 MPa, As = 6-25mm, Φstirrups = 10 mm.
a. Solve for the required spacing near the support
b. Solve for the required spacing at a distance of 1.2 m from the
support.
Situation 3. The beams in a floor system has a length of 6.8 m and a
center to center spacing of 1.36 m. A T-beam is to be designed from
this floor system which contains a slab thickness of 110 mm,
effective depth of 680 mm, width of web of 320 mm. Use fy = 414
MPa and f’c = 20.7 MPa. As = 8-32mm.
a. Solve for the moment capacity of the beam.
Situation 4. A reinforced concrete beam has a factored shear of 200
kN and factored torsion of 30 kN-m. Given the following beam
properties: b = 280 mm, total depth = 500 mm, diameter of tension
bars = 32 mm, diameter of stirrups = 10 mm, clear cover in all sides=
60 mm.
a. Solve for the required spacing of transverse and longitudinal
reinforcement.
