Question 1 Figure Q1 shows a general arrangement of a reinforced concrete building. The floor can be considered as a one-way spanning solid slab continuous over the supporting beams. The reinforced concrete slab thickness is 200mm. The following information is given: Loads/actions on the structure: Characteristic permanent action, gk = 1.5 kN/m2 Characteristic variable action, ak = 5.0 kN/m2 The above loads/actions do not include the weight of concrete. Materials: Grade of concrete C30/37 Characteristic yield strength of steel reinforcement 1x = 500 MPa Nominal cover Crom = 20 mm i. Determine the design sagging bending moment for the slab between grid lines 1 and 2 and the maximum shear force in the slab, using the simplified coefficients for bending moment and shear force. [25%) ii. Determine suitable steel reinforcement for the slab to satisfy the design sagging bending moment calculated in (i) above. Assume steel bar diameter = 10mm. [50%) Check whether the slabis satisfactory for shear calculated in () above or not.
