Define limit state and explain the two principles of limit state in design. (CO1-PO2)(C2) (5 marks) b) A beam can be in the form of a single span or multiple spans. Illustrate and differentiate bending behavior and design moment calculation for a simply supported single span beam and three span continuous beam. (CO1-PO2)(C4) (6 marks) QUESTION 2 Figure Q2 shows the first floor key plan layout of a building. Reinforced concrete beam and slab for the building is cast integrally to speed up the construction process. The following design data are given as follows.

Explain briefly elastic design theory and plastic design theory in relation to design failures. (CO1-PO2)(C2) (5 marks) b) A cantilever steel beam 406 x 178 x 60 UKB grade S275 is used to support a uniform distributed action as indicated in Figure Q4. Determine the maximum shear force and bending moment of the beam. Assume the beam is fully laterally restrained at each end and sits on 100 mm bearing at support. Ignore the self-weight of beam. (CO1-PO2)(C4) (4 marks) ©) Identify the section classification of the beam section in Question 4(b), and then check whether the beam section is able to resist the maximum moment and maximum shear force subjected to the beam.

Illustrate buckled shape of a non-sway steel column with different types of end restraints. (CO1-PO2)(C3) (4 marks) b) Figure Q5(b) shows a 9 m height steel column of 254 x 254 x 73 UKC $275. The column has a fixed-pinned end conditions. The column is subjected to unfactored permanent action of S00KN and variable action of 250kN. Ignore self-weight of the column and assume the column section is Class 1. (CO2-PO3)(C4) i) Analyze the buckling resistance of the column to sustain the design action about the minor 2-2 axis.
