This document appears to be an examination for a Design of Structures course, focusing on reinforced concrete design. It contains 8 questions across two parts (A and B) related to the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beams, columns, slabs, footings, and stairs. Students are asked to answer 5 questions total, selecting at least two from each part. The questions require calculations of load capacities, moments of resistance, crack widths, and reinforcement designs for various reinforced concrete elements. Standard materials of M20 or M25 concrete and Fe415 or Fe500 steel are specified.
