Subject : Elective II (RCC Design) Time : 2 hrs.

Note:
1. Answer any two questions of the following.
2. Use of class notes, books or any other relevant material is allowed.
3. Make suitable assumptions for any missing data.

Question (1):

Design a roof slab for a circular room of 6.5 m inside diameter supported
over 300 mm thick load bearing wall. The slab projects all around outside
the wall by 1 m. The service dead load (excluding self-weight of slab) is
2 kN/m2 and live load 1.5 kN/m2. Use fcu= 25 N/mm2 , fy = 250 N/mm2.

Question (2):

A curved beam is in the form of full continuous circle in plan with a

radius of 6 m and is supported continuously on six supports. The beam
carries a UDL of 8 kN/m length. Determine the bending moment and
twisting moment and shear force at salient locations and plot B.M, T.M.
and S.F. diagrams.

Question (3):

Design a spherical dome over a circular room of 10 m diameter. The rise

of the dome may be taken as 1/5 of the diameter. The dome carries a
lantern load of 30 kN at its apex. The wind load on the dome is estimated
to equivalent to 1.2 kN/m2 . Examine the stresses in the dome and design
suitable reinforcement, also design the ring beam supporting the dome
which is resting on masonry wall. Use fcu= 25 N/mm2 , fy = 250 N/mm2.

Good Luck
