of 50mm. it is provided with 2L#8@180mm c/c calculate the factored
UDL over an effective span of 8m. Adopt M20concrete and Fe415 steel.

UNIT- III

finish = 0.5 KN/m 2, Room height= 3m. Assume suitable width of the
stairs.

6. Design the floor slab for a room size of 6m x 4m, with two adjacent CO2 (20)
edges are discontinuous and corners are held down. Live
load=3 KN/m2. Adopt M20 & Fe415 grade of concrete and steel
respectively.

1150kN. Adopt M20concrete and Fe415 steel.
b) Design a short column of diameter 800mm to support a factored axial CO5 (10)
load of 1500kN together with a factored moment of 150kNm. Adopt
M20concrete and Fe415 steel.

8. a) Design a short column of size 300mm x 550mm to carry an axial load CO5 (10)
of 2000kN. Adopt M20concrete and Fe415 steel.
b) Design a square column of size 400mm x 400mm subjected to a load CO5 (10)
