Q2. FIGURE Q2(a) shows a double overhanging beam supported by two columns.
FIGURE Q2(b) shows the cross-section of the beam. Other design
specifications of the beam are as follows:

Characteristic cylinder strength of concrete, fck = 35 N/mm2

Characteristic yield strength of reinforcement, fyk = 500 N/mm2
Diameter of flexural reinforcement = 20 mm
Diameter of shear link = 10 mm
Nominal concrete cover, Cnom = 30 mm

(a) Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam. Show
all the important values in the diagrams.
(6 marks)

(b) Design the flexural reinforcements required for the beam.

(9 marks)

(c) Design the vertical shear reinforcements for the beam. Ignore the design
for transverse shear reinforcement.
(6 marks)
(d) Check the deflection and cracking control of the beam.
(6 marks)

(e) Provide neat sketches of the reinforcements in longitudinal and cross-

sections of the beam.
