 Attempt All questions  IS 456-2000 is permitted
 Assume any other data Suitably  Max Marks: 50
1.
a. A rectangular beam of overall cross sectional dimension 230mm x 600mm with 50 mm effective
cover is reinforced with 5 numbers of 25 mm diameter bars in the tension side and 3 numbers of 16
mm dia bars on the compression side. It is carrying an imposed load of 50 kN/m over an effective
span of 7 m. check the adequacy of the design. The permissible stress in concrete and steel are 7
N/mm2 and 230 N/mm2 respectively. m = 15.Compressive stress in steel bar is 1.5 times
compressive stress in surrounding concrete. Use WSM
b. Explain the various Design Philosophies? Also comment on the suitability of steel as a
reinforcement material?
2.
a. A RC beam of overall dimensions 300 x 500 mm rests on a brick wall 300mm thick clear span is 5
m. The beams are spaced at 3.5 m intervals.Thickness of slab supported by the beam is 120mm, Live
load on the slab is 200 kg/m2. Floor finish weight 60 kg/m2. Concrete adopted is M20 and mild steel
is used for reinforcements. Effective cover to the reinforcement is 50 mm. Design the reinforcements
required for flexure and shear. Draw a net longitudinal section of the beam and indicate the
placements of reinforcements. Use LSM
b. Design a beam for a bending moment of 200 kN-m, shear force of 120 kN and twisting moment of
48 kN-m. Use M25 concrete and Fe 415 steel. Take b = 400 mm. Use LSM
3.
a. Design a simply supported slab to cover a room with internal dimension 4.0 m x 5 m and 230 mm
thick brick walls all around. Assume a live load of 3kN/m2 and a finish load of 1 kN/m2. Use M20
concrete and Fe 415 steel. Assume the slab corners are prevented from lifting up. Use LSM
b. Design a short circular column 6 m long to carry an axial load of 250 kN, if both ends of the column
are fully restrained. Use helical reinforcement. Use LSM
4. A roof beam slab system of a hall of 6 m width and 12 m length is to be supported on only the 4 corner
columns and two 6 m long end walls. The 110 mm thick roof slab is monolithically constructed with two
main beams of 12 m span each, and two interior secondary beams of 6 m span each dividing the slab
into 3 equal panels of 4 m shorter span each. The 20mm thick ceiling plaster of the slab is of density 20
kN/3 and the roof finishes on the slab weigh 1.5 kN/m2. The slab has to sustain a live load of 2kN/m2.
Design a secondary beam in M15 grade concrete with Fe415 grade tensile steel reinforcements using
WSM. Limit the overall depth depth of this beam to 400 mm and design it as a T- beam.
5. Design a staircase slab in figure below. The stairs are simply
supported on beams provided at the first riser and at the edge of
the upper landing. Assume a finish load of 0.8 kN/m2 and a live
load of 5.0 kNm/m2. Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 steel.
