A simply supported beam of 3.8m clear span carries a UDL (including self weight) of 11kN/m.
It also carries a central point load of 20kN. The beam rests on masonry walls of thickness 300mm running parallel to the beam. The materials are M25 grade concrete and Fe415 grade steel. Design the beam if the depth is restricted to 500mm overall.
(OR)
A simply supported one-way slab of effective span 4m is supported on masonry walls of 230mm thickness. Design the slab. Take LL as 3kN/sq. m and floor finish to 1.2kN/sq. m. The materials are M15 & Fe415
Why the steel is used as reinforcement in concrete? (Or) A reinforced concrete section is subjected to a reversal of bending moment of equal magnitude of 120kn-m in either direction. Design the section if the grade of concrete is M20 & steel is Fe 250. Assume b=0.6d & effective cover to steel is 0.1d. (OR) Explain how the actual or available width of flange of Tbeam is not effective in carrying compression. (OR) What are the values of permissible stresses in concrete and steel & how do you arrive at these values?
What are the assumptions made in the limit state design of collapse for flexure? (OR) Explain the advantages & disadvantages of HYSD bars over mild steel bars. (OR) A beam of size 230 * 600 mm overall depth is reinforced with 4-12mm diameter bars. Find the safe UDL on the beam in addition to itself weight on a span of 4.5m. The materials are M15 & HYSD steel.
When do you go for the design of doubly reinforced sections & what are the advantages of it? (OR) Design the beam B4 as shown in figure: LL on the slab=4Kn/sq. m Thickness of slab=120mm Floor finish=0.75kn/sq. m M20 & Fe415
