1. A beam with 6m span is resting on two rectangular tied columns and carrying an factored load
as shown in the figure. The ratio of the dimensions of columns is 1 : 1.75. Identify the least
dimension for the column 1 and maximum dimension for column 2. Moreover, Compressive
strength for both columns is equivalent to 28 MPa and 60000 Psi for steel yield strength. In
addition calculate the number of 20mm diameter main bar for each column. USE NSCP 2001
and 2010, also consider the effect of eccentricity. (BOX THE ANSWER(s) ONLY).

1. A 7m beam is resting on two rectangular tied identical column and carrying an unfactored Load
as shown, the self-weight is already included in dead load. The architect desired to design the
column for its least dimensions wherein the cross-sectional width of the column must be twice
its base. The gross sectional area utilized by the architect is 141,000 mm2. Compressive strength
of concrete is 4050 Psi and steel yield strength is 0.415 GPa. Considering the effect of
eccentricity, Identify the maximum value of identical unfactored Live Load that can applied to
the system. In addition, identify the dimensions of column and the number of 25mm diameter
needed. Use NSCP 2001 and 2010 and BOX THE FINAL ANSWER(s) ONLY.
