CVNG 3003 2014/15 STRUCTURAL DESIGN 2 IN-COURSE EXAM This is an open-book exam of 2 3/4 hours (i.e.165 minutes) duration, ‘This exam carries 40 percent of the final mark for the course Qi. As much as possible given the date provided in Figure QUQ2 for the end-span of a RC ‘eam, check the end-span for compliance with earthquake resistant design requirements. f = 30 MPa; wy = 50 KN/m. [NB 1 MPa= 145 psi; | kip 4.45 KN; 1 kip ft= 1.35 kNm]. [30 marks] @. Referring to Figure Q1Q2, the intemal column is a square column 400mm x 400mm. The column has 8120 symmetrically placed around all the sides (i.e. 3 bars each face). If the column’s moment strength is that associated with P,, at one-half the balance point’s Py (@) Calculate the ratio of the moment strength of the columns to (6/5) times the ‘moment strength of the beams, for the internal joint, assuming the same beam rebar for the internal span as for the end span.
