PART-A (10X2=20 Marks)

1. What is Partial safety factor?

2. What is the formula used to find the critical neutral axis in working stress method?
3. Find the design constant m, j, k for M20 grade of concrete and Fe415 steel.
4. Define limit state.
5. Differentiate between under reinforced and over reinforced section.
6. What is doubly reinforced beam?
7. What is effective length?
8. Find the overall depth of a singly reinforced beam having effective depth = 150mm,
diameter of rod = 12mm and clear cover = 30mm.
9. What is development length?
10. Differentiate between one way slab and two way slab.

PART-B (13X5=65 Marks)

1. Find the moment of resistance (Mr) of Rcc beam 300mm wide and 500mm effective
depth is reinforced with 3 bars of 16mm dia. Take M20 grade of concrete and Fe415
steel.
2. A concrete beam of size 400mm x 600mm effective reinforced beam 4 bars of 25mm dia
are in tension side. 4 bars of 20mm are in compression side. Find the moment of
resistance of the beam (M20) (Fe415). Take effective cover of a compressive
reinforcement as 40mm and m = 13.33.
3. A simply supported Rcc beam of 250mm wide and 450mm deep. For effective reinforced
beam 4nos of 18mm dia of bar. Design a shear reinforcement in M20 grade concrete,
Fe415 steel. The beam is subjected to a shear force of 150KN at working service state.
4. Determine the reinforcement required for a beam of size 300mm X 600mm subjected to a
factor B.M of 150KNm. Factored shear force of 100KN and Factored torsional moment
of 50 KNm. Use M20 grade of concrete and Fe415 steel.
5. Design a simply supported varandah slab should be with following data.
i. Clear span = 3m
ii. Simply supported on both bearing brick wall is 230mm
iii. Loading in roof slab is 1.5KN/m2
iv. Material M20 and Fe415 steel bar.

PART-C (1 X 15=15 Marks)

1. A simply supported beam of 300mm X 600mm effective is reinforced with 5 bars of

25mm diameter which carries UDL of 80KN/m (including its own weight) over and
effective span of 6m, out of the 5 main bars 2 bars can be bent up safely near the support .
Design shear reinforcement of the beam . Use M20 grade of oncrete, Fe415 steel.
