DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURE–I
Paper : CE-303A
Time : Four Hours] [Maximum Marks : 75
Note : Attempt five questions in all, selecting at least one question
from each unit. All questions carry equal marks. Assume
suitable data and specify the same. Relevant IS codes are
allowed.
UNIT–I
1. (a) Write a short note on Acceptability criterion,
accomplished the same with suitable example.
(b) Define shrinkage and creep of concrete, also write
down the factors.
2. (a) Discuss design curves of concrete and reinforcing bar.
(b) Write short notes on :
(i) Normal distribution curve.
(ii) Partial safety factor and factored load.
UNIT–II
3. A R.C.C. beam 240 mm × 500 mm effective is subjected to
a factored moment of 230 kNm. Find the reinforcement
required. Use M20 concrete and Fe415 steel.

4. An isolated simply supported T-Beam has a flange width of
2400 mm and flange thickness of 120 mm. The effective
span of beam is 3.6 m. The effective depth of beam is
580 mm and its width 300 mm. It is reinforced with
8-20 mm diameter Fe 415 bars. Determine the moment of
resistance of the section. Use M20 concrete.
UNIT–III
5. A R.C.C. beam 300 mm × 400 mm effective is carrying a
uniformly distributed load of 16 kN/m. The beam is
reinforced with 4 bars of 22 mm diameter. The clear span
of the beam is 4 m. Design the shear reinforcement. Use
M20 concrete and plain mild steel bars.
6. A short R.C.C. square column is required to carry a factored
load of 1900 kN. Design the column along with lateral ties.
Assume emin < 0.005 D and use M20 concrete and Fe415
steel.
UNIT–IV
7. Design a simply supported R.C. slab for a room having
inside dimensions 4.5 m × 4.5 m and supported on the walls
of 250 mm thick all along the boundary. Assume a live load
of 3 kN/m2 and a floor finish 1.5 kN/m2. Use M20 concrete
and Fe500 steel. Assume that the slab corners are prevented
from lifting up.

8. Design a cantilever type of retaining wall, who retain level
earth of 3 m height. The earth surface is subjected to a
surcharge of 15 kN/m2. Safe bearing capacity of soil is
120 kN/m2 and angle of repose is 30 degrees. Take Unit
weight of soil = 15 kN/m3 and coefficient of friction at base
is 0.50.
