(b) What are the different limit states of design? What are the merits of limit “state design philosophy over other design philosophies?
4. A three-span continuous beam carries a UDL of 35 kN/m under service conditions. The clear span of beam is 4-5 m with support width as 300 mm. Design the beam using M25 grade concrete and Fe500 steel.
5. Design a slab for a room 3.0 mx 40 m clear in size, if the superimposed load is 3.0 kN/m². Consider for both the cases with and without corners, free to lift and the edges are simply supported. Use M25 mix and Fe500 grade steel.
6. Design the reinforcements of a rectangular beam simply supported over a clear span of 4.3 m by limit state method, if the super- imposed load is 75 kN at mid-span and each support width is 450 mm. Neglect the self- weight of beam. Use M25 mix and Fe500 grade steel.
7. Using limit state method, design a reinforced concrete column, 400 mm square, to carry an ultimate load of 1000 kN at an eccentricity of 160 mm. Use M25 mix and Fe415 grade steel.
8. (a) Explain the codal recommendations for the effective span of the stair slabs with different support conditions of the loadings.
(b) Design a dog-legged staircase located in a stair hall measuring 2.75 mx 4.5 m for a public building. The story of floor- to-floor height is 3.3 m. The service live load on stairs is 4-0 kN/m² with the weight of finishes of 0-5 kN/m². Adopt riser and tread of 150 mm and 250 mm, respectively. The grades of concrete and steel to be used are M25 and Fe500, respectively.
9. (a) Write the procedure to design an isolated rectangular footing to carry axial loads and moments.
(b) Design a footing for a 350 mm square column reinforced with 8 mm-20 mm Fe415 grade bars. One side of the footing is restricted to 1.5 m. The gross bearing capacity of the soil is 65 kN/m². Assume column concrete as M25 and footing concrete as M20.
