Question (5): (16 Marks)

For the shown fig. an existing concrete beam in upper roof slab at axis 2. its required
to hold an additional elevator load with 8 ton in the middle span. Check the safty of
this beam only and take the nessary engineering action for this beam ( the clear height
of floor under beam not less than 2.20 m).

Question (6): (40 Marks)
A old factory consists of one story as shown in the next figure with 8.0 m spans.
The slab th. was 28 cm with 42 cm drop panel. The client wants to add 4 new
floors and also increase L.L of the exisiting floor from 500 kg/m2 to be 1000
kg/m2. It is required to check the marked elements on plan of the factory to
carry the added loads from this modification as follows:

n Check the status of the two columns mentioned in plan to carry the new
floors ( safe or not) (4Marks)

n Check the status of the footings mentioned in plan to carry the new loads
( safe or not) (4Marks)

n Advise the client about your recommendation to modify the factory for
the clouded columns and footings show all available alternatives to solve
this issue. ( we need only sketches)

n Suggest the suitable enginerring solution to solve any structural problem

for the two mentioned locations of columns and footing only. ( need
calculation and sketch ) (16 Marks)

n For the existing roof and due to increase of L.L the marked locations show
in slab was subjected to an increase of 26.5% for positive moment location
from the original moments. Its required to take an actions for this issue
( need calculation and sketch ) (8 Marks)

Using Data:
