How are the safety margins assigned in Elastic method and ultimate load method? 4. Calculate the limiting value of tensile stress in an uncracked section of a flexural member made with M25 grade of concrete? 5. Draw stress-strain curve for various grades of steel. 6. Distinguish between one way and two way slabs. 7. Explain the terms balanced, over reinforced and under reinforced sections in bending 8. Discuss the different limit state to be considered in reinforced concrete design? 9. Why is it necessary to provide transverse reinforcement in a one way slab? 10.Explain maximum depth of neutral axis. 11.Sketch the edge and middle strip of one way slab? 12.What do you understand by development length of bars? 13.Why is bond stress more in compression bars than that in tension bars? 14.How is the reinforcement designed and provide in a rectangular beam when equivalent torsion Mt exceeds the design bending moment Mu? 15.What is bond stress? write expression for it. 16.What are the types of reinforcements are used to resist shear force in columns? 17.What are braced columns? 18.Distinguish between braced and unbraced column? 19.Name any of two methods used for designing long column? 20.Write the procedure for the design of an axially loaded short column? 21.What is punching shear in RCC footing? 22.What is one-way and two-way shear in footing? 23.How is the main steel distributed in wall footings and two-way rectangular footings?
