REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

PROBLEM 1: A one way slab with a total depth of 200 mm and a steel covering of 25 mm at the bottom is reinforced with 20 mm diameter steel bar. The
spacing of the reinforcement is 125 mm on centers. Use fc’ = 30 MPa and Fy = 400 MPa.
a. Determine the effective depth of the slab.
b. Determine the depth of compression block.
c. Determine the minimum spacing of the temperature bars.
d. Determine the moment capacity of the slab.
e. Determine the live load capacity of the slab in KPa.
PROBLEM 2: A 215 mm thick slab one way reinforced concrete slab overhangs a simple support. The span of the overhang is 2.4 m. The designed states
that the bar shall be placed with a top cover of 25 mm. However, during actual construction it was misplaced and was found out to be as much as 87,5
mm below the top of the concrete. The slab is reinforced with 22 mm diameter bars placed at 275 mm on centers. Use fc’ = 20.7 MPa and fy = 414. 6 MPa.
a. Considering the design parameter determine the depth of the compression block.
b. Considering the design parameter determine the design strength of the slab.
c. Considering the as-built/actual parameter determine the depth of the compression block.
d. Considering the as-built/actual parameter determine design strength of the slab.
e. Determine the reduction in the flexural strength of the slab as designed and as built in percentage.
