Subject Code:2X45003 Date:27/12/2021
Subject Name: Structure – III
Time:02:30 PM TO 05:30 PM Total Marks:50
Instructions:
1. Attempt all questions.
2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.
4. Simple and non-programmable scientific calculators are allowed.
5. Use IS –456 (2000) and SP-16 is permitted.

Q.1 (a) Define 1) Characteristic strength 2) Characteristic load 04

(b) Explain limit state of collapse & limit state of serviceability in flexure.. 06

Q.2 (a) Describe critical sections for one way shear and two way shear in column 04
footing.
(b) What is development length ? Give steps for design of shear reinforcement as 06
per IS 456:2000.
OR
(b) A singly RC beam has effective dimension of 250 mm x 450 mm. It is 06
reinforced with 3-20 mm dia. of Fe 415. Find out moment of resistance of
beam. Use M20.
Q.3 (a) Define : 1) Distribution factor 2) Carry over factor 04
(b) Draw neat sketches both plan and sectional elevation of a reinforced cement 06
concrete staircase with reinforcement detailing.
OR
Q.3 Design for tensile and compressive reinforcement for R.C.C beam 250mm 10
wide and 500mm deep with concrete grade M-20 and steel Fe-415 at effective
cover of 50mm on both sides to resist factored moment of 300kNm.
Q.4 A short R.C.C column of size 400 mm X 600 mm is reinforced with 6 bars of 10
28 mm dia. Determine the safe load the column can carry if M-20 grade of
concrete and Fe 415 steel is used. Also find the spacing of lateral ties.
OR
Q.4 Design an isolated square pad footing for the RCC column of size 500 mm x 10
500 mm to transmit axial load of 1600 KN. The safe bearing capacity of soil
is 200 KN/m2 . Use M-20 & steel Fe-415.Check for shear is not required.
Draw neat sketch showing sectional elevation and plan.

Q.5 Design a one way simply supported slab of span 3.2m x 9.2m. Take effective 10
slab thickness 150 mm and live load on slab is 2.5 KN/m2. Slab is supported
by 300 mm thick beam. Use M20 & Fe 415. Check the slab for control of
deflection & cracking only.
OR
Q.5 Design a one way simply supported slab of span 3.2m x 9.2m. Take effective 10
slab thickness 150 mm and live load on slab is 2.5 KN/m2. Slab is supported
by 300 mm thick beam. Use M20 & Fe 415.Check the slab for shear only.
