2.    A reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section has to carry a uniformly distributed load of 8 kN/m over an effective span of10 m. Design the section using M20 and Fe415 grade steel, when i) there is no restriction on the size beam section ii) the size of the section is restricted to 250 m x 500 effective. Use working stress method.

3.    Determine the area oftensile reinforcement required for singly reinforced beam section of size 300 x 550 mm effective to carry a factored moment of 180 kNm. The concrete is M20 and steel is Fe415 grade.

4.    A series of beams placed at 2.5 m centres are supported on masonry walls and the effective span of the beam is 5m. the slab thickness is 100mm and ribs below the slab are 200mm wide and 250 deep. If the slab and beams are so cast to act together, determine the reinforcement at mid span for the T beam to carry an imposed load of 5 kN/m2 of the slab. Use concrete M20 and steel Fe415 grade.

5.    A reinforced concrete rectangular beam section of230mm width and 450 mm overall depth is reinforced with 4 bars of16 mm of Feb415 grade, placed at an effective cover of 228 mm. Design he shear reinforcement if the beam is subject to a uniformly distributed load of 50 kN/m over a simply supported clear span of 6 m. Concrete is M20.

6.    Design a reinforced concrete slab 4.5x 3.2 simply supported on all four sides. It has to carry a characteristic live load of 4 kn/m1 in addition to its dead weight. Asume M20 and Fe415 steel. Also assume that exposure condition is mild.

7.    A reinforced concrete column of unsupported length 3 m is to be designed for a factored load of1200 kN. Determine the cross sectional dimensions of the column and the reinforcement required for the two cases.

i)    There is no restriction on the column size.

ii)    One side of the column is restriced to 230 mm.

The grade of concrete is M20 and steel is Fe415.

8.    A solid footing has to transfer a total load of 800 kN. Assuming Fe 415 and fck = 20 MPa, and safe bearing capacity to be 200 kN/m2, design the footing.
