Note : Answer any five questions
All questions cary equal marks.
Assume any missing data suitably

1. A simply supported beam 350 mm x 700 mm reinforced with 3 nos. 12 mm diameter.

The effective span of beam is 10 meter. The beam is subjected to two point loads of 135
KN each at a distance of 2.5 meter from each support. Estimate the mean and maximum
crack widths for the beam. Use M20 and Fe415. The effective cover is 75 mm.

2. Draw an approximate moment-unit curvature diagram for the cross section of beam
450 x 800 mm, reinforced with 6 nos. 12 mm diameter. Use M25 and Fe415 grade of
steel.

a
A reinforced concrete grid floor is to be designed to cover a floor area of size l2m x
16m. The spacing of the ribs in mutually perpendicular directions being 2m clc live load
is 2 KN/m'. Ur" M25 and Fe415. Analyze the grid floor for moments and shears using
Plate Theory.

4. A roof slab is supported on columns spaced at 5 meters apart in both the directions. The
size of the square columns is 440 mm and the live load on the roof is 1500N/m'. The
load of the waterproof treatment course on the slab in 2KN/m2. Design a flat slab
without drops or column heads. Height of the column above the mat foundation is 6m.

). Design a shear wall of length 4.16 mand thickness 250 mm subjected to the following
forces

Loadings Axial force (kN) Moment(kN-m) Shear(kN)

DL+LL 1950 600 20
Seismic load 250 4800 700

6. Design a deep beam subjected to two loads 415kN at 400 mm from supports on each
side. Use M25 and Fe415. The eff-ective span of beam is 1650 mm.

7. Design a wall 3 m high, 100 mm thick and 4 m in length between cross walls. The wall
is subjected to carry a factored load of 600 kN/m length: Use M20 and Fe415.

8. A simply supported one way ribbed slab of 5m span is to be used for 3KN/m2 live load.
Design the slab using M20 grade concrete and HYSD bars of grade Fe415.
