load bearing brick wall 230mm thick ,loading 2kN/m2 M20 concrete Fe415 steel
(10)
(OR)
11.
B).Design a slab to suit the following data size of floor 4mX5m, simply
supported on all the 4 sides on load bearing walls 230mm thick without any
provision for torsion at corners. Adopt M-20 concrete and Fe 415 steel. Take live
load as 4kN/m2
(10)
12.
A).Design a cantilever slab projecting 1m from support to carry alive load
of 3kN/m2 .Use M20 concrete & Fe415 steel
(10)
(OR)
12.
B).Design a one way slab for an office floor which is continuous over TEE
beams spaced at 3.5m intervals . Assume live load of 4kN/m2 Use M20 concrete
& Fe415 steel
(10)
13.
A)(I).A RC rectangular beam 350mmX550mm eff section has a factored
shear of 400Kn at a section . The tension steel consist of 4-32 mm dia bars.
Design the shear reinforcement required. Use M25 concrete and Fe415 steel
(5)
13.
A.(II)A RC rectangular beam 250mmX450mm eff section has a factored
shear of 250Kn at a section . The tension steel consist of 2-20 mm & 2-25mm
dia bars. Design the shear reinforcement required. Use M25 concrete and Fe415
steel
(5)

13.
B).A rectangular beam 230mm wide and 550 mm deep is subjected to a
sagging moment of 40kNm shear force of 30kN and a twisting moment of 11.5
kNm at a given section. Design the reinforcement at the given section. The
materials used are M20 & Fe415 steel. Assume effective cover=45mm.
