CE5013 REINFORCED CONCRETE RETAKE CW– Aug 2020
ID: The ‘n’ values below are based on your KU ID, i.e. K n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6 n7
A simply supported reinforced concrete beam with a cantilever of rectangular cross section 250 mm width X 525 mm height and concrete grade C35/40 is an interior support of a one way slab with uniformly distributed characteristic loads from
- Tiles and bedding (0.5+0.1*n3) kN/m2
- 50 mm layer of screed with unit weight of 22 kN/m3
- 180 mm deep slab with RC unit weight of 25 kN/m3
- Suspended ceiling of 0.15 kN/m2
- Services of 0.30 kN/m2
and a variable load qk = (2+0.1*n7) kN/m2.The distance c/c of the beams is (4+0.1*n6) m. Design the section as a rectangular beam to satisfy the ULS and SLS requirements of EuroCode 2.

25 marks
|
Design the beam for shear to Eurocode 2 at the positions of maximum shear and calculate the shear reinforcement required in each case.
Check that the midspan deflection of the beam is satisfactory (ignore the cantilevers).
