Tutorial I (Based on Module I)

Answer the questions as directed
All questions are related to CO 1
Statement of CO1 (Course Outcome 1): The students shall be able to compare
and demonstrate different design philosophies, properties of a material and
ascertain the loads coming on the structure

Q.1 Draw a stress-strain curve for the following material giving its interpretation (explain
all the parameters and parts of the curve)
a. For mild steel (B1 and B4 batch)
b. HYSD bars (B 2 batch)
c. Concrete (B 3 batch)
Q. 2 Write a short note on design philosophies for the design of reinforced cement
concrete.
a. Working stress method (including basic assumptions and drawbacks of the method)
B2 batch
b. Ultimate load theory (B 3 batch)
c. Limit stress method (B 4 batch)
Q.3 Which are the various grades of the concrete as specified in IS 456-2000. All
Define the characteristic strength of concrete. batches
Define the factor of safety. Why does it need to consider in design? Mention the
values of factor of safety for steel and concrete and comment on the variation in the
values
Q.4 How had the development of concrete taken place? Why is it needed to provide steel B1 & B3
in concrete? batch
Q.5 Explain in short, the basic aspects of the structural design of the RCC structure B2 & B4
batch
Q.6 Mention the Indian Standard Codes for following All
a. Plain and reinforced concrete batches
b. General construction in steel
c. Criteria for earthquake-resistant design of structures
d. Various types of loads on the structure
e. Concrete mix design
f. Ductile detailing of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic forces
g. Hot-rolled deformed bars
Q.7 Answer in one sentence All
1. Give the alternative names for working stress method batches
2. Which load is considered a working load? Which is another name assigned to it?
What do you understand by factored load? Which are other names assigned to it?
3. Define the structure All
4. As per IS 456-2000, which is the minimum grade of concrete used for the batches
construction of structural components?
5. How many zones are recommended by IS 875, part-III for considering basic wind
speed? What is the value of the lowest and highest value of the wind speed?
6. Comment on the value of bond stress for plain and deformed bars as recommended
by IS 456-2000
7. State and interpret the reason for variation in the value of modular ratio ‘m’ in the
working stress method than when considering the modulus of elasticity of steel and
concrete
8. Write down the values of modulus of elasticity of steel and concrete?
9. The cross-section of the beam is given as 250 x 450 mm, overall deep. It is to be
constructed using M 25 grade of concrete. Calculate the self-weight of the section.
10. What is the maximum strain in concrete in axial compression and bending?
11. Which type of cement is recommended when it is to be used for concrete exposed
to sulphate attack?
