(c) Figure Q1(b) shows part of the floor plan of a reinforced concrete
office building. During construction, slabs and beams are cast
together.All slabs are at the same level except panel A2-B/4-5 which
drop50 mm. Figure Q1(c) shows the cross-section of beam and slab.
Design data related to the action and construction material are as

Q2. (a) Briefly explain the flexural behavior of one-way and two-way slabs.
(5 marks)
(b) Figure Q2 shows the layout plan of beams and slabs for the first floor
of a reinforced concrete building. The concrete for the slabs and beams
will be poured simultaneously and the overall thickness of the slab is
150 mm. Apart from self-weight, the slab carries a characteristic
variable action of 3 kN/m2 and characteristic permanent actionfrom
floor finishes and ceiling of1.0kN/m2. The characteristic strength for
concrete and steel reinforcement are 25 N/mm2 and 500N/mm2,
respectively. The nominal cover is 25 mm. Design all the flexural
reinforcement for slab panelA-B/1-3 and B-C/1-3 (assume bar size of
10 mm) and sketch the reinforcement details of the slab in the x
direction (cross-section).

Q3. (a) In the calculation of design forces in the tendons, allowance should be
made for the appropriate losses of prestress. Discuss three of the losses
which may be contributing to the overall performance of a prestressed
structure.
