1. Question No. 1 is Compulsory.
2. Answer any FOUR from questions 2 to 8.
3. All parts of a Question must be answered in one place to get valued.
4. Use the following codes: IS 456-200.
5. Draw neat sketches and reinforcement details where ever necessary.
6. Assume any necessary data.

1. Answer the following in 4 or 5 sentences.

a) Differentiate between under reinforced and over reinforced sections. 2 Marks
b) When do you prefer a doubly reinforced section? 2 Marks
c) Define balanced section. 2 Marks
d) Write the differences between limit state and working stress methods. 2 Marks
e) Differentiate one-way slab two way slab. 2 Marks
f) Differentiate between short column and long column. 2 Marks
g) What are the functions of foundations? 2 Marks
h) Why it is difficult to calculate accurately the crack width of the beam. 2 Marks
2. What are the assumptions for the design of a reinforced concrete section for limit state of 11 Marks
collapse in bending? Derive the stress block parameters for a rectangular singly reinforced
cross section.
3. Design a rectangular reinforced concrete beam for a clear span of 4200 mm. The super 11 Marks
imposed load is 35 kN/m and the size of the beam is limited to 250 mm x 400 mm. Use
M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 steel. Support width is 300 mm each and effective cover is
50 mm.
4. A simply supported beam, 300 mm wide and 600 mm effective depth carries a uniformly 11 Marks
distributed load of 70 kN/m including self weight, over an effective span of 5m. The
reinforcement consists of 5 bars of 25 mm diameter. Design the shear reinforcement for the
beam. Assume grade of concrete M20 grade of steel Fe 415 width of support = 400mm.
5. Design a RC rectangular beam simply supported over an effective span of 5m to support an 11 Marks
imposed load of 15 kN/m inclusive of its self weight. Adopt M 30 grade concrete and Fe 415
steel. Provide effective depth two times the width using working stress method.
6. Design a RCC floor slab for a room having inside dimensions 6 m X 3.5 m restrained an all 11 Marks
the four edges if the super imposed service load is 4 kN/m2 the thickness of wall is 30 cm and
the slab is having two adjacent edges discontinuous.
7. Design a square short column to carry an axial load of 1800 kN using M20 grade concrete and 11 Marks
Fe 415 steel.
8 Design a isolated footing for a square column 400 x 400 mm carrying an axial load of 800 kN. 11 Marks
The SBC of soil may be taken as 200 kN/m2. Use M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 steel.
