(1) The document provides information about a structural engineering design exam, including two questions about pre-stressed concrete beams. (2) Question 1 asks about IRC class B loading, calculating bending moment in a concrete slab culvert, and designing the culvert slab for flexure. (3) Question 2 asks about advantages of pre-stressed concrete over reinforced concrete, and describes one system for anchoring tendons in post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete structures.

8th Semester (Civil) Class Test – II - 2017 -:: 2 ::-


Subject: STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING DESIGN – IV
Time: 2 Hrs. Maximum Marks: 40 (c) The cross section of a simply supported pre-stressed
concrete beam of span 5.0 m is 200 mm x 400 mm. The
Note: Part (a) is compulsory in each question and carries (02) marks; beam is subjected to its self weight and an imposed load
attempt any one part from (b) & (c) worth (18) marks. Use of of 4 kN/m over the entire span. Compute the stresses at
latest revisions of IS 456, IS 3370, IRC 6 and IRC 21 are the extreme top and bottom fibres at mid-span, quarter
span and at end sections, if the pre-stressing force is 300
permitted. Assume suitable data where necessary and mention kN and the tendon is (a) concentric, (b) at an eccentricity
it clearly. Draw neat sketches where necessary. Use concrete of of 50 mm towards the bottom of the beam. Density of
M20 grade and steel of grade Fe415 for reinforcement, unless concrete may be taken as 24 kN/m3. (18)
mentioned otherwise.

Q. 1. (a) When is IRC Class B loading used? (02)
(b) Compute the maximum factored bending moment at the
centre of span of a reinforced concrete slab culvert of
clear span 5.5 m on a National Highway, for a two lane
carriageway, for two lanes of IRC class A loading. The
clear width of road may be taken as 7.5 m. Assume slab
thickness as 550 mm; average thickness of wearing coat =
75 mm; width of kerbs = 0.6 m; width of supports = 0.4
m. (18)
(c) Design the deck slab for flexure, in a reinforced concrete
slab culvert of clear span 5.5 m on a National Highway,
for a two lane carriageway, for one lane of IRC class AA
(tracked vehicle) loading. The clear width of road may be
taken as 7.5 m. Assume slab thickness as 550 mm;
average thickness of wearing coat = 75 mm; width of
kerbs = 0.6 m; width of supports = 0.4 m. (18)
Q. 2. (a) Give two important advantages of pre-stressed concrete
structures over reinforced concrete structures? (02)
(b) Describe any one system of anchoring tendons, in post
tensioned pre-stressed concrete structures? (18)
