CE3060: Basic Reinforced Concrete Design Jan-May 2015 Assignment 2 (Due Date: Febraury 21, 2015)

This document outlines 5 assignments for a reinforced concrete design course. The assignments involve calculating deflection and cracking for various reinforced concrete beams. Assignment 1 involves checking deflection for beams with different rebar grades. Assignment 2 checks deflection for a doubly reinforced beam. Assignment 3 calculates short-term and long-term deflection for a simply supported beam. Assignment 4 checks cracking for a beam under a working moment. Assignment 5 checks deflection and cracking using different methods for a beam subjected to a service load moment.

CE3060: Basic Reinforced Concrete Design

Jan-May 2015
Assignment 2 (Due Date: Febraury 21, 2015)
1. A simply supported beam of 8 m span has an effective depth of 800 mm. The
beam is reinforced with tension steel of 1.5 percent. Check the deflection control
of the beam by empirical method using (a) Fe415 HYSD bars; and (b) Fe500 HYSD
bars.
2. A doubly reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section 250 mm wide by 500
mm effective depth is reinforced with 3 bars of 20 mm diameter on the tension
face and 2 bars of 16 mm diameter at the compression face at an effective cover
of 50 mm. The beam spans over 6 m. Using Fe415 HYSD bars check for the
serviceability limit state of deflection using the empirical method.
3. A simply supported reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section 250 mm
wide by 450 mm overall depth is used over an effective span of 4 m. The beam is
reinforced with 3 bars of 20 mm diameter Fe415 HYSD grade steel at an effective
depth of 400 mm. Two hanger bars of 10 mm diameter are provided. The selfweight together with dead load on the beam is 4 kN/m. Service live load is 10
kN/m. Using M20 grade concrete, compute (a) The short term deflection; and (b)
The long term deflection according to the provisions of the IS 456-2000 code.
4. A simply supported beam of rectangular section spanning over 6 m has a width
of 300 mm and overall depth of 600 mm. The beam is reinforced with 4 bars of
25 mm diameter on the tension side at an effective depth of 550 mm spaced at 50
mm centers. The beam is subjected to a working moment of 160 kN-m at the
center of span section. Using Fe415 HYSD bars and M25 grade concrete, check
the beam for the serviceability limit state of cracking according to the provisions
of IS 456-2000 code.
5. A simply supported beam of rectangular section 300 mm wide by 700 mm overall
depth has an effective span of 8 m. The beam is reinforced with 4 bars of 25 mm
diameter spaced 50 mm apart on tension side at an effective depth of 650 mm.
Two nominal hanger bars of 12 mm diameter are provided on the compression
side at a cover of 50 mm. The beam is subjected to a service load moment of 140
kN-m at center of span section. Using M25 grade concrete and Fe415 HYSD bars,
check the beam for the limit states of deflection and cracking using the following
methods: (a) Deflection control using empirical method; (b) Deflection
computations using the theoretical method; and (c) Maximum width of cracks
using the theoretical method.
