Q. 1: The reinforced concrete beam shown is reinforced with 5 bars 22 mm diameter (As = 5×380 =
1900 mm2), b = 350 mm, h = 500 mm, d = 439 mm, and fc' = 35 MPa. The beam is subjected
to a superimposed uniformly distributed DL of 7 kN/m (plus the beam weight), uniformly
distributed LL of 10 kN/m. The beam is simply supported on an effective span of 6.0 m and a
clear span 5.7 m. Find: SD = 7 kN/m, LL = 10kN/m
a) The DL deflection,
b) The total DL and LL deflection,
c) The LL load deflection.

Q. 2: Design the necessary shear and torsion reinforcement (closed stirrups only) for the
cantilever beam shown, b = 300 mm, h = 500 mm, d = 440 mm, fc' = 30 MPa and fy =
400 MPa. Neglect the beam weight. The loads shown are working loads.
