- State in brief using neat sketches the different methods to increase column
vertical capacity.
 - The next plan shows roof slab system. Due to a lack of quality in site, there are
3 locations in the floor that need additional reinforcement to fulfill the design
drawings.
Use only sketch to show the required method to enhance the capacity of floor
at the 3 locations – the arch. Requirement not to change slab thickness.
a) Location 1 concrete beam 25x80
b) Location 2 –ve reinforcement of slab
c) Location 3 +ve reinforcement of slab
- An existing column-footing system with Column dimensions of 0.60x0.60 m
with 18T18 vertical reinforcement and plain concrete footing 3.65 x 3.65 x
0.30 with 3.05 x 3.05 x 0.6 m for R.C. footing with 8 T 18 /m in two
directions with 1.5 kg/cm2 B/C of soil. Assume that Fcu =250 kg/cm2 ,
Fy=3600 kg/cm2.
- Check the safety of this system when subjected to vertical ultimate load of
425 ton.
- In case of unsafe situation, suggest your solution using clear calculations and
clear sketch.
 - A new added cantilever beam to an existing concrete wall is shown in figure.
Calculate beam dowels to carry the applied ultimate loads neglecting beam O.W.
Assume beam section 40 x 100 cm with Fcu =250 kg/cm2 , Fy=3600 kg/cm2.

New added beam

- An existing simply supported rectangular section concrete beam with 30x70 cm section,
6.0 m span length, 6T18 bottom rft., 3T14 top rft, and 6 R8/m stirrups. Fcu = 350 kg/cm2
, Fy= 4000 kg/cm2 for high tensile steel and Fy=2400 kg/cm2 for mild steel.
- Check beam safety to carry concentrated force at mid-span of 25 ton working load.
- Design beam concrete jacket of 15 cm thickness using first principles taking into
consideration existing beam rft.
