There are 2 (Two) questions. Answer all the questions. Marks allocated are indicated in the
right margin. Assume the reasonable value of any data if not provided. Unless otherwise
stated, the symbols bear the usual meaning.

CLO 1 2 PO 1 3

1) a. Illustrate ACI code provision for crack width. [6+7+12=25]

b. Explain the difference between sway and non-sway column with [CLO1/PO1]
Figures.
c. Develop the equation for Pcr for buckling axially loaded column
for the different supporting conditions with Figures.

2) (a) Figure 1 shows the main flexural reinforcement at mid- [30+45=75]

span [CLO2/PO3]
for a T girder in a high-rise building that carries a service
load moment of 8630+X in-kips. The
clear cover on the side and bottom of the beam stem is
2.25”. fy=60ksi. (i) Establish the logic whether the beam
meets the crack control criteria in the ACI Code. (ii)
Determine the crack width of the beam. The neutral axis is
10” below from top fiber of beam. [X last two digit of
your ID]

(b) Figure 2 shows an elevation view of a multistory concrete

frame building, with 48 in. wide × 12 in. deep beams on all
column lines, carrying two-way slab floors and roof. The
clear height of the columns is 13 ft. Interior columns are
tentatively dimensioned at 18 × 18 in., and exterior
columns at 16 × 16 in. The frame is effectively braced
against sway by stair and elevator shafts having concrete

walls that are monolithic with the floors, located in the

building corners (not shown in the figure). Service load
values of dead and live load axial force and moments for
the typical interior column C3 are as follows:
Dead Load Live Load
P=230 kip +X/10 P=173 kip
+Y/10
M2= 2ft-kips M2=108 ft-
kips+X
M1= -2ft-kips M1=100 ft-
kips+Y

The column is subjected to double curvature under dead

load alone and single curvature under live load. Design
column C3, using the ACI moment magnifier method. Use
fc = 4000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. [X and Y are last two
digit and first two digit of your ID]

equation].
