CE487 Reinforced Concrete II HW # 1

Problem 1. In the following plan, all the beams have a width of 250 mm. The thickness of levelling
concrete is 6 cm above the slab and of the plaster 2 cm under the slab. Consider the unit weight of
levelling concrete as 23 kN/m3. The live load is 2.5 kN/m2. It is required to use C25/30 concrete and
S220 grade rebar. Determine;

a) the slab thickness,

b) the required reinforcement and
c) show the reinforcement placement in plan layout.

Problem 2. For the formwork given below, all the beams have a width of 25 cm and the slab
thicknesses are 13 cm. The unit weight of floor covering is 25 kN/m3, that of plaster is 20 kN/m3 and
that of leveling concrete is as 22 kN/m3.

The corresponding live loads are given as:

S101 and S102 : 2.0 kN/m2,
S103 : 3.5 kN/m2
BS101 : 5.0 kN/m2

Materials: C25/30, B420C.

a) Check if the slab thicknesses are enough.

b) Determine the required reinforcement for all the slab sections.
c) Show reinforcement placement in the plan

Problem 3. For the given formwork plan below, determine the required reinforcement and show
reinforcement placement in the plan. Materials: C20/25, S420. (For h=12 cm, g =3.28 kN/m2, for
h=14 cm, g = 3.78 kN/m2 and q=4.5 kN/m2 for all slabs)
