This document contains questions for a Reinforced Concrete Design exam. It includes 8 questions across two parts (A and B) covering fundamental concepts in limit state design of beams, slabs, columns, footings, and stairs. Students are asked to solve 5 questions by selecting at least 2 from each part. Questions assess understanding of concepts like under reinforced, balanced and over reinforced sections; partial safety factors; stress-block parameters; moment of resistance calculations; serviceability limit state checking for cracking; beam and slab design; assumptions in column design; codal guidelines for column reinforcement; footing design; and stair design. Students are asked to sketch reinforcement details for design questions.
