QUESTION 1
A concrete floor slab measuring 6 m x 3 m is simply supported on one side brick load-bearing walls along the 6 m sides. The concrete slab is 200 mm thick and reinforced at the bottom as follows.
a. Main reinforcement (short span i.e the bars are parallel to the short span), Y12, shape code 34 @ 125 mm centre to centre,
b. Distribution reinforcement (long-span i.e the bars are parallel to the long span), Y 10, shape code 20 @ 300 mm centre to centre,
c. Concrete cover, 30mm,
d. Concrete strength, 40MPa.
Draw the reinforcement layout for this slab, in plan and section, indicating all the
reinforcement and necessary information required by the contractor.
Calculate and indicate the number of bars required on your drawing.
You do not need to calculate the bar lengths and the curtailment. Neat drawing please

The length of the beam is 25 ft. In your design assume concrete with a compressive strength of 3,000 psi density 150 lb/ft³ and Grade 60 Steel. 27" 12" 10'-0" 12" 10'-0" 12"arrow_forward
- A concrete floor slab 100 mm thick is cast monolithic with concrete beams 2.0 m on centers. The beams have a span of 4.0 m, web width of 250 mm and overall depth of 500 mm. The tensile reinforcement consists of 6 - ø20 mm bars in two rows with 25 mm vertical clear spacing. Use material strength f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. Calculate the following considering a T-geometry: Effective flange width of an interior beam in mm = _______ Depth of uniform stress block at ultimate stage in mm to the neares whole number = _______ Tensile steel strain compatible with concrete strain of 0.003 in 3 decimal places = __________arrow_forwardQuestion 2: Determine the required reinforcement for L section beam to resist torsion T = 10KN.m with the following dimensions; depth of slab = 100 mm, width of flange = = = 200 mm, 900 mm, width of web depth = 455 mm.
