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 [Link] slab =24KN/m3x (5x0.175x7.5) m3 gks=157.5KN FOR BEAM Dead load gkb=dc x [Link] 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 [Link] 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.
