(b) Find the Moment of Resistance of a singly reinforced concrete beam of 200mm 04
with 410mm effective depth, reinforced with 4 bars of 12 mm diameter of Fe
415 and M20 concrete.
(c) Calculate flange width of a T-beam from the following data: (1) Depth of flange 07
=100mm, (2) Width of rib= 300mm ,(3) Effective span =700mm.
Q.2 (a) Explain stress-strain diagram for doubly R.C. beam. 03
(b) Explain development length. 04
(c) A rectangular beam 230 X 450 mm in size is simply supported over 3.6 m span 07
with an effectivr cover 50 mm. It is subjected to a working load of 25kN/m.The
beam is reinforced with 3 nos.-16 dia. bars. Design the shear reinforcement in
the beam.
