Questions

  1. Q1

    1. a)

      Calculate neutral axis, lever arm and moment of resistance factor for M25 and Fe 550.

      [4]
    2. b)

      Calculate moment of resistance for a section 300mm × 450mm deep. 3 bars of 20mm diameter provided on tension side only. Effective cover is 40mm, use M30 and FE 415.

      [6]

  2. Q2

    1. a)

      Explain the terms bond stress and development length. Calculate development length for 20mm diameter bar of grade Fe500 and M30 grade of concrete in tension and compression using LSM.

      Also asked:Mar 2025

      [4]
    2. b)

      Explain with neat sketch Balanced, Under reinforced and Over reinforced section as per LSM.

      [6]

  3. Q3

    1. a)

      Enlist essential conditions to design beam section as flanged beam in floor beam system.

      Also asked:Mar 2024

  4. Q4

    1. a)

      Explain Characteristic strength and Partial factor of safety.

      [2]
    2. b)

      Design a simply supported one way slab for a room with clear inner size 3.5m × 7.8m. The slab is supported by beams of width 230mm along all the edges. The slab is subjected to floor finish of 1.5 kN/m 2 and live load 3kN/m 2 . Use concrete of grade M20 and Fe500 reinforcement. Draw details of reinforcement.

      [8]

  5. Q5

    1. Design a simply supported two-way slab panel having effective dimensions as 4.23 m × 3.23 m. Take live load of 3.50 kN/m 2 and floor finish of 1kN/m 2 . Use M20 grade of concrete and Fe 415 grade of steel. (Neglect design of distribution steel and check for shera)
