Choose the best answer for each question and explanation:
Q 1: An office slab has the characteristic loads as follows:
• Self-weight load (Gk1) = 8 kN/m2
• Superimposed dead load (Gk2) = 2 kN/m2
• Imposed load (Qk) = 4 kN/m2
The ultimate load (Wd) placed on the slab is approximately:
(a) 14.0 kN/m2 (b) 18.8 kN/m2 (c) 19.5 kN/m2 (d) 19.8 kN/m2

Q 2: Consider H20 tensile bars in the bottom of a RC beam with the straight anchorage. Assume:
+ Concrete class is C25/30, + Steel class is 500B, + No confinement (3 = 4 = 5 = 1)
+ Nominal cover is 30mm, + Percentage of lap bars is 50% + “Good” bond conditions
The tension anchorage length (lbd) and lap length (l0) of H20 bars are approximately:
(a) 450 mm and 700 mm (b) 500 mm and 800 mm
(c) 750 mm and 1050 mm (d) 800 mm and 1150 mm

Q 3: Consider H25 longitudinal bars of a RC column with the straight anchorage. Assume:
+ Concrete class is C40/50, + Steel class is 500B, + No confinement (3 = 4 = 5 = 1)
+ Nominal cover is 40mm, + Percentage of lap bars is 100% + “Good” bond conditions
The compression anchorage length (lbd) and lap length (l0) of H25 bars are approximately:
(a) 650 mm and 900 mm (b) 750 mm and 1100 mm
(c) 900 mm and 1200 mm (d) 1000 mm and 1300 mm
