Assignment No 1

This document contains questions for an assignment on the working stress method (WSM) for the design of reinforced concrete beams. It includes 6 theory questions that define key terms in WSM and derive equations for design constants. It also includes 4 numerical problems applying WSM to calculate stresses, moments of resistance, and loads for given beam dimensions and reinforcement. Finally, it contains 2 design problems to select reinforcement for given beam moments using WSM design principles.

of Resistances.
3) Define Neutral Axis, Moment of Resistance, Lever Arm, Balance section in WSM
4) What are the limitation of WSM
5) Explain the advantages and limitation of working stress method over limit state method.
6) Derive design constant (k, j & Q or R) for neutral axis lever arm and moment of resistances constant for
singly reinforced beam. Also calculate the values of k, j & R for M25 grade concrete and Fe415 grade of
steel

NUMERICALS BASED ON ANALYSIS

1) RCC beam 230 mm x 520 mm overall is reinforced with 4 bars of 20 mm diameter. The beam has
to carry a super imposed land of 55 KN/m including self-weight of the beam over an effective span
of 5m. Find the actual stresses developed in steel and concrete. The effective cover is 40 mm.
Take modular ratio m = 13.33. Also find the compressive stress in concrete at 50 mm from top of
the beam and draw bending stress diagram.
2) A singly reinforced concrete beam is of 300 mm width and 500 mm effective depth. It is reinforced
with 6 Nos. of 16 mm HYSD bar. Assuming M 20 concrete, determine its moment of resistance
according to the working stress Method
3) A R.C. beam of rectangular section 230 mm x 400 mm is reinforced with 4 x 12 mm dia. bars
provided with an effective cover of 35 mm. Calculate Moment of Resistance of the Section and the
maximum uniformly distributed super imposed load excluding self - weight of beam, this beam can
carry if it is simply supported over a span of 3.5 m. Use M 20 concrete and Fe 415 steel. (use
W.S.M.)
4) Calculate the moment of resistance of the singly reinforced beam by working stress method. The
width and effective depth are 450mm, 715mm. It is reinforced with 8 Numbers of mild steel bars
having dia 20mm assuming M20 grade concrete.

NUMERICALS BASED ON DESIGN

1) Design a beam subjected to a bending moment of 50kNm by working stress design. Adopt width of
beam equal to half the effective depth. Assume the permissible stresses in the concrete and steel
are not to exceed 7 N/mm2 and 140 N/mm2, take m = 13.33

2) Design a beam subjected to a bending moment of 60kNm by working stress design. Adopt width of
beam equal to half the effective depth. Assume the permissible stresse in the concrete and steel are
not to exceed 7 N mm2 and 140 N mm2 , take m = 13.33
