Unfactored dead load=7kPa and lve load =3kPa, 2” show 610x305 UB 179 universal beam in grade S275 stee! is adequate to be ABCD. ‘Since floor is spanning in same direction of beam ABCD, the floor is unable to restrain the beam. laterally. Lateral restrain are provided only at supports and where the cross beams meet the beam at B and C. Due considerations must also be given to deflection control in checking adequacy of main ABCD beam. All self weight includes in D.L, state clear of your assumption, TUL -3SKaxE +1 5x3K2 Note: Midspan deflection of simple support beam under 2 symmetrical load.

To facilitate excavation for a new underground MRT station, a steel strutting and °° waling system together with concrete diaphragm wall are to be used for its construction. The designed strut force to be transmitted to the concrete wall is 3500 KN as shown in Figure Ql. (a) Calculate the bearing and buckling resistances of the unstiffened web of the waler in the strut-waler connection. The sizes of the strut and waler as well as the strut-waler connection details are indicated clearly in the figure. (10 marks) (b) Determine whether the unstiffened web of the waler is adequate to transfer the design strut force or not. Propose an effective strengthening scheme if it is inadequate. Detailed design of the strengthening scheme is not required. (10 marks) You may assume that the strut is not at the end or near the end of the waler.
