1) The structure shown in the Figure 1 is six storey mixed used building on ground type B at
Addis Ababa. The lateral loads resisting system is as shown in the Figure.

Given data:

 Thickness of floor and roof slabs = 150𝑚𝑚


 Live load on floors = 3𝑘𝑁⁄𝑚2

 Cross-section of beams for all floor = 250𝑚𝑚 ∗ 500𝑚𝑚


 Cross-section of all columns = 500𝑚𝑚 ∗ 500𝑚𝑚
 Thickness of external infill HCB walls = 200𝑚𝑚
 Thickness of internal infill HCB walls = 200𝑚𝑚
 Walls are located on beams only
 Unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25𝑘𝑁⁄𝑚3

 Unit weight of HCB wall = 14𝑘𝑁⁄𝑚3

 Height of each floors = 3.0𝑚


Using the given data:
a) Calculate the base shear force 𝐹𝑏
b) Distribute the base shear force to each storey and obtain storey shear forces
c) Distribute storey shear forces to each lateral loads resisting system along 𝑥 − and 𝑦 −axis

Floor plan for all storeys All dimensions in meter.

2) Figures below shows a floor slab supported by different support conditions. The slab has
to carry a load from floor finishing of 30𝑚𝑚 cement screed, 20𝑚𝑚 marble tiling and
15𝑚𝑚 ceiling plastering and a variable load of 3.0𝑘𝑁/𝑚2 . Assume the partition walls
are only on the supporting members. The materials to be used are 𝐶20/25 strength class
and 𝑆 − 500 reinforcing steel grade. Use 𝜙12𝑚𝑚 bars and 20𝑚𝑚 nominal (clear) cover.
Find the required slab thickness, the moment’s at all critical sections and reinforcement
by using strip method.

3) A series of continuous beams are indicated in which the relative 𝑴𝒑 values and the
applied collapse loadings are given. Determine the required value of 𝑴𝒑 to ensure a
minimum load factor λ=1.7 by using both static and kinematic methods of plastic
analysis.

a)

b)

4) A frame shown in the figure below with the respective relative 𝑀𝑝 values and the applied
collapse loadings are given. By using both kinematic and static method of plastic
analysis:
a) Determine the required value 𝑀𝑝 to ensure a minimum load factor 𝜆 = 2.0.
b) If 𝑀𝑝 = 60𝑘𝑁𝑚, determine the minimum load factor 𝜆.
