B. 16 mm
C. 20 mm
D. 25 mm

10) A rectangular slab 4m x 6m supported on two opposite shorter edges should be designed as
A. A one way slab spanning along longer edges
B. A two way slab
C. A one way slab spanning along shorter edges
D. none

Note: This section consists of 2 questions. You have to give answer both the
questions in descriptive. Maximum marks are 5 (2+3) only

b) State when this equation is to be used

c) What is the limiting value of
2. Give answer of below question in descriptively. (3 marks)

• Determine the areas of steel, bar diameters and spacing in the two
directions or a simply supported slab of effective span 3.5 m x 8m
 subjected to live loads of 4 kN/m 2 and the load of floor finish is 1 kN/m 2.
Use M20 and Fe 415. Draw the diagram showing the detailing of
reinforcement.
