Q.1 A) Attempt any THREE of the following: 12 Marks

a) Write the difference between working stress and limit state method.
b) Write the assumption made before design of R.C.C. beam.
c) Determine the design constant for depth of Neutral axis of the beam having width b and
effective depth d and steel fe 415 and concrete m15
d) What are the different causes of earthquake.

Q.1 B) Attempt any ONE of the following: 06 Marks

a) A R.C. beam of rectangular section 230mm wide and 400 mm deep is reinforced with 4
bars of 12mm diameter provided with an effective cover of 31mm calculate the ultimate
moment of resistance of the section and the maximum uniformly distributed super
imposed load this beam can carry it is simply supported over a span of 3.5 m The
material used are concrete grade m20 and steel grade fe 415.
b) A singly reinforced beam of concrete grade m25 has to resist an ultimate moment of 90
kn-m. Design the section using 0.9% steel of grade fe 415. Assume the width of the
beam equal to 250mm.

mix m20 and fe 500 grade steel and effective cover equal to 40mm. Determine the
maximum ultimate moment that beam can resist?
 b) Calculate the area of steel required for singly reinforced concrete beam 230mm wide and
390mm deep to resist an ultimate moment of 50kn-m. Assume m20 and fe 500
combination of concrete and steel and effective cover=40mm.
c) State any four I.S. provisions for singly reinforced beam design.
d) Explain the term partial safety factor used in limit state method why are they called
partial?
e) Write the reasons to provide minimum shear reinforcement in the form of stirrups.

Q.3 Attempt any FOUR of the following: 16 Marks

a) Span of beam is 4 m with uniformly distributed load of 22kn/m and c/s 230 X 450 mm.
Calculate spacing of stirrups use permissible ultimate shear stress in concrete is 0.6
N/mm2 ( Neglect Bent Up)
b) Why the useful contribution to shear resistance of bent up bar is taken only 50% of the
total shear required to be carried.
c) Write any four I.S. provisions for design of shear is beam.
d) Explain the effect of shear force on the beam.
e) A Rectangular beam supported over the span of 5m is 250 mm wide X 450mm
effective depth. It is reinforced with 0.75% tension steel. Determine the UDL including
the self weight. The beam can carry when the beam is to be provided with minimum
shear reinforcement. Use m15 concrete.

a) Give the design steps for lintel beam.
b) The R.C. beam 300 X 500mm having the span of 3.5 m and 5 no of 16 mm diameter
bars in bottom. Determine the point load carrying at centre.
c) Write the steps to analyze the shear in beam section.
d) A beam 230 X 500 mm effective has a span of 4.5 m tensile reinforcement consists of
four 20 mm diameter bars. If concrete is of grade m 20, Find nominal shears stress and
shear strength of concrete load on beam 24 KN / m
