beams
Question 1:
Draw the deformed shapes and determine the suitable locations of reinforcement for the following
frames:
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
(e)
Question 2:
Figure 1 shows part of a floor plan for a typical office building. Estimate the permanent action (G
k
)
and variable action (Q
k
) carried by:
lOMoARcPSD| 58583460
a) Slab S1
b) Beams B1, B3 and B23
c) Column C6 (for one floor only)
For the purpose of load taking only, assume that the slabs and beams are simply-supported.
Structural elements are made of reinforced concrete of which
a) Slab is of 125 mm thick
b) Beams are 300 mm width and has an overall depth of 500 mm
c) Columns are 300 x 300 mm
Basic loading data are given as follows:
Imposed loads:
1. Office (general use) 2.5 kN/m
2
2. Stationary store 4.0 kN/m

Mass of materials:
1. Reinforced concrete 2400 kg/m

2. Flooring screeding (13 mm thick) 30 kg/m
2
3. Brickwall (230 mm thick) 350 kg/m
