1. A roof slab is supported on columns spaced 5 m apart in both the directions. The size of
the square columns is 440 mm and the live load on the roof is 1.5 kN/m2. The load of
the waterproof treatment course on slab is 2.0 kN/m2. Design the flat slab with column
heads. Height of the column above the mat foundation is 6 m.

2. Two columns carrying 400 kN and 600 kN are spaced 4 mand 6 m apart and they have
to be provided with a foundation on a soil having a net bearing capacity of 60 kN/m2.
The footing must be restricted to 2.5 m width. The columns size is 500 by 500 mm.

3. Design the beams and columns of a portal frame hinged at base to suit the following
data: Spacing of portal frames = 4 m, Height of columns = 4 m, Distance between
column centres = 10 m, Live load on roof = 1.5 kN/mm2, RCC slab continuous over
portal frames and Safe bearing capacity of soil at site is 200 kN/mm2. Also sketch the
details of the reinforcement of beam and column.

4. Design the stem of a reinforced concrete cantilever type retaining wall to retain earth
with the top of the wall to a height of 5m. The density if soil is 14 KN/m3 and the angle
of repose is 30 degrees. Adopt M20 grade concrete and Fe-415 HYSD bars. Sketch the
details of reinforcements of the retaining wall. Assume the safe bearing capacity of soil
as 180 KN/m2.

5. Explain in detail the various post-tensioning devices with neat sketches.

6. A rectangular concrete beam 100mm wide and 250mm deep, spanning over 8m is
prestressed by a straight cable carrying an effective prestressing force of 250kN at an
eccentricity of 40mm. The beam supports a live load of 1.2kN/m. (a) Calculate the
resultant stress distribution for the central cross section of the beam. The density of
concrete is 24kN/m2. (b) Find the magnitude of prestressing force with an eccentricity
of 40mm which can balance the stresses due to load and live loads at bottom fiber of
central section of the beam.

7. A pretentioned beam 250 mm wide and 300 mm deep is prestressed by 12 wires each
of 7 mm diameter initially stressed to 1200 N/mm2 with their centroids located 100 mm
from the soffit of the beam. Estimate the final loss of stress due to elastic deformation,
creep, shrinkage and relaxation using IS: 1343 1980 code and the following data:
Relaxation of stress in steel = 90 N/mm2, Es= 210 N/mm2, Ec= 35 N/mm2, Creep
coefficient = 1.6 and Residual shrinkage strain = 3 X 10-4.
