Qn. No 1 A series of 400mm deep x 250mm wide of reinforced concrete beam spaced at 5m center and spanning 7.5 m supports a 175mm thick reinforced concrete slab as shown below. If the imposed floor loading is 3KN/m2 and the load induced by the weight of concrete is 24KN/m3. Calculate the total ULS loading condition for the slab and beam Data given Consider the diagram bellow

Density of concrete, dc = 24KN/m3 Imposed load (qk) = 3KN/m2 Required: to calculate the total ULS loading condition for the slab and beam Solution FOR SLAB Dead load gk = dc x vol.of slab =24KN/m3x (5x0.175x7.5) m3 gks=157.5KN FOR BEAM Dead load gkb=dc x vol.of beam =24KN/m3 x (0.4 x 0.25x 7.5) m3 ASSIGNMENT 1 - RCC -2-

gkb=18KN Then, To convert the imposed load into point load qk = 3KN/m2 x (7.5 x 5) m2 = 112.5KN Then, Total gk = gks + gkb = 157.5KN + 18KN = 175.5KN DESIGN LOAD (W) = Total ULS loading condition for the slab and beam W = 1.4gk + 1.6qk = 1.4 x 175.5 + 1.6 x 112.5 = 425.7KN Total ULS loading condition for the slab and beam per meter run is given by W= 425.7KN /7.5m = 56.76KN/m Total ULS loading condition for the slab and beam = 56.76KN/m

Qn. No 2 A singly reinforced concrete beam is required to resist an ultimate moment of 550KNm.If the beam is composed of grade 30 and high yield (HY) reinforcement .Check the size and determine the area of steel required

Concrete grade, fcu = 30 N /mm2 Reinforcement type high yield reinforcement Required: to check the section size : To determine area of steel, As Solution 1st- To check for reinforcement type From, K = M bd2fcu Then, K = 550 x 106 350 x 6002 x 30 K = 0.1455 K = 0.1455 < 0.156 (singly reinforcement) From, Z = d [0.5 + (0.25 k / 0.9)0.5] = 600[0.5 + (0.25 0.1455 / 0.9)0.5] Z = 478.3 mm 2nd To determine area of steel (As) From, As = M 0.87 fy z As = 550 x 106 0.87 x 460 x 478.3 As = 2873mm2 From bar table, provided 6T25

h = 600 + 25 + 25/2 h = 638 mm min allowable As =0.13%b*h max allowable As=4.0%b*h since, actual %As =2873*100 /(350*638) =1.29% 0.13%bh < %As < 4.0%bh, then the section is ok.

Qn. No 3 A reinforced concrete beam is required to transmit an ultimate bending moment of 140KNm. Inclusive its own weight using the simplified stress block formula, determine amount of steel needed in a 250mm wide beam for the following condition. a) Grade 30 concrete with mild steel reinforcement b) Grade 35 concrete with high yield reinforced

Solution Data given Moment, M = 140KNm Case I- Concrete grade, fcu = 30 Assumption, Kmax = 0.156 ASSIGNMENT 1 - RCC -5-

From, K = M bd2fcu 0.156 = 550 x 106 250 x d2 x 30 d = 346 mm To determine the area of steel (As) From, Z = d [0.50 + (0.25 k / 0.9)0.5] Then But Kmax = 0.156 Z = 0.775d As = M / 0.87 fy 0.775d = 140 x 106 / 0.87x250x0.775x346 As = 2464 mm2 From bar table, provided 8R20 To check for section From, d = h c /2 h = d + c + /2 = 346 + 25 + 20/2 h = 381 mm min allowable As =0.13%b*h max allowable As=4.0%b*h actual %As =2464*100 /(250*381) =2.58% Therefore, since 0.13%bh < %As < 4.0%bh, then the section is ok.
