Structural Design Assessment Questions

The document contains two questions regarding the design of structural elements: 1. Question 1 contains statements about structural design concepts to be identified as true or false. 2. Question 2(a) asks to calculate design actions on a roof truss system and determine reactions and bending/shear diagrams. 3. Question 2(b) provides a building plan and asks to determine design actions on a slab, calculate bending/shear diagrams, design main reinforcement, and calculate deflection. Dimensional and material properties are provided.

QUESTION 1 Tick the correct answer in the box given.

For the false statement, highlight the false statement or point and propose the correct answer. Each phrase contributes 1 mark. ANSWER STATEMENT In architectural plan, the floor plans are essential to define the spaces such as rooms & partition and its functional relationship. TRUE FALSE PROPOSED ANSWER

The function of dimension on structural key plan is to identify the measurement of the structural elements to be constructed.

Multiplication the number of purlins and length of purlin is essential in order to establish the purlin weight.

A structure is deemed to satisfy the serviceability limit state when the structure must not collapse when subjected to the peak design load for which it was designed. Purpose of provision of nominal cover is to give reinforcing bars sufficient embedment to enable them to be stressed without slipping. The point at which cracking occurs is determined by the moment induced in the slab and the tensile strength of the concrete, which increases with ages. Variable action on a building are include wind and precipitation.

In one-sway slab, the main tensile reinforcement is placed parallel to shorter side which will be the main steel.

QUESTION 2(b)

Figure Q2(b) shows the first floor key-plan of a 3-storey building. All slab thickness is 150 mm thick and the slabs are cast monolithically with beams using in-situ concrete method. The permanent action, Gk consists of floor finishes, ceiling loads and partitions (not including selfweight of the slab) is 1.5 kN/m2. Given below are the design data to be used in the design process. Characteristic strength of concrete, fck Characteristic strength of steel (main reinforcement), fyk Characteristic strength of steel (shear reinforcement), fyv Density of concrete Characteristic of variable action Nominal cover, c Diameter bar (main reinforcement) Diameter link (shear reinforcement) = 30 N/mm2 = 500 N/mm2 = 250 N/mm2 = 25 kN/m3 = 2.0 kN/m2 = 25 mm = 12 mm = 8 mm
