CE5S510 Advanced Structural Concrete Design by Prof Tan Kiang Hwee Test - 12 October 2015 Dept of CEE, NUS Name of student: Matriculation no. Answer all questions. Section A — Circle the correct answer. [5 x 8 marks] — 4. The method of strain compatibility and force equilibrium is not applicable to the: (a) design of partially prestressed concrete beams design of dapped beams and corbels 6) design of columns with non-symmetrical cross-sections (@) serviceability limit state design of beams 2. Which of the following statements related to “truss analogy for shear design” is false? (2) Only equilibrium and material laws need to be considered (b) The model can be modified to incorporate compatibility relations (©) The angle of inclination of the diagonal strut can be arbitrary chosen Contributions of aggregate interlock action, shear in concrete compression zone and dowel action of longitudinal reinforcement to shear resistance are considered 3. Which of the following statements is true? (2) Torsional moment occurs in beams but not in slabs ® Torsional moment may be accounted for by proper detailing (©) Torsional moment must always be designed for the full elastic value obtained from analysis (@) Torsional moment requires the provision of transverse steel only 4, Crack width does not depend on (@) concrete grade steel grade (©) nature (short- or long-term) of loading (d) proximity to steel reinforcement 5. The long-term deflection of a réinforced concrete beam increases with (2) early application of loads (b) lesser compression steel reinforcement (c) lower concrete grade all of the above Section B [60 marks] 6. A U-section shown on the right, is to resist flexure, shear and torsion. The steel area required to resist flexure is 3000 mm?. If Ves = 500 KN and Tes = 80 kNm, determine and sketch the required reinforcement for the section. Assume fer = 40 MPa, fx = 500 MPa, and d= 950 mm. Adopt @= 45° and consider a cover of 40 mm to H10 longitudinal reinforce- ment in your design. All dimensions are in mm.
