1. The slab shown supports a superimposed dead load of 1.2 kN/m2 and a live load of 2.9 kN/m2. The slab extends 100 mm past the
exterior face of the column to support an exterior wall that weighs 1.78 kN/m of length of wall. The storey-to-storey height is 2.85 m.
Use 28 MPa concrete and Grade-420 reinforcement.
a) Select slab thickness.
b) Use the direct-design method to compute moments, and then design the reinforcement for column and middle strips running
north and south along column line 2.
c) Use the direct-design method to compute moments, and then design the reinforcement for column and middle strips running
east and west along column line A.

A singly reinforced concrete beam with a width of 250 mm is subjected to an ultimate moment of 270 KN/m. Find the beam depth and area of
steel, then calculate As,max and Mu,max. Use f’c = 30 MPa and fy = 400 MPa.

The doubly reinforced section shown in figure is subjected to a bending moment of a factored value of 200 KN-m. d’ = 50 mm, f’c = 27 MPa, and
fy = 280 MPa. Design the beam depth.

The figure below shows a plan and two sectional elevations of a reinforced concrete structure. It is required to calculate the loads acting on the
simple beam B1. Live load = 2 KN/m2, Flooring = 1.5 KN/m2, and own weight of brick wall = 4.5 KN/m2. Assume the thickness of the slab is 150
mm.

It is required to design the continuous beam shown. The characteristics compressive strength of concrete f’c = 28 MPa. The yield strength of the
longitudinal steel fy = 400 MPa and for the stirrups fy = 280 MPa. The applied unfactored dead load and live loads on all spans are 40 KN/m and
15 KN/m, respectively. These loads can be used for designing the beam for bending as well as for shear. Assume also that the spacing between
the beams on plan is 4.0 m.

Design a solid slab spanning between beams, as shown below. In addition to self-weight, the slab carries a characteristic dead load of 1.0 KPa
and an imposed load of 0.5 KPa.
