1 Prepare a centre line drawing showing foundatio trench layout for walls of the building and footing for colums as shown in Fig.Q.
All columns C1 230mm × 450mm in size.
Columns C2 300mm × 300mm in size,
Size of footing for C1 columns = 1.2m × 1.5m.
Size of footing for C2 columns = 1.0 × 1.0m.
Concrete bed for footing 100 mm thick, projecting 75mm beyond the footing.
Width of foundation trench for walls = 900 mm
Width of trench for corridor basement = 750 mm
Also prepare the slab and beam layour with suitable dimensions, notations and with appropriate grids. Use M20 grade concrete and Fe415 grade steel.

2 A rectangular R.C. Beam of cross-section 300mm × 450mm is supported on four columns spaced at 4 m centre to centre. The beam reinforcement consists of 4 bars of 16 mm dia at midspan out of which two bars are curtailed nea each support at bottom (+ve reinforcement). The reinforcement at all supports consists of 4 bars of 16 mm diameter -ve reinforcement. The beam has 2 Nos 16 mm diameter hanger bars at top. Shear reinforcement consists of 8mm diameter 2 legged vertical stirrups at 150 mm c/c at 1 m from face of supports and at 230 mm c/c in the remaining span. Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 grade steel. Draw to a suitable scale.
(i) Longitudinal section of beam at mid span.
(ii) Cross section of beam at mid span
(iii) Cross section at support. (iv) Bar bending schedule for beam.

3 An R.C.C. Column and footing has the following details:
Size of column = 300 mm × 450 mm   Size of footing = 1500 mm × 2250 mm
Thickness for footing near column face = 450 mm   Thickness of footing at edges = 200 mm
Depth of foundation below GL = 1 m.
Height of column to be shown above GL = 1 m
Details of reinforcement :
Column longitudinal reinforcement = 8 Nos # 16 mm dia bars.
Lateral Ties =#8mm dia bars at 150 mm c/c
Footing reinforcement :
a. #16mm @ 150 mm c/c along longer direction.
b. #12mm @ 200 mm c/c along shorter direction.
Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 grade steel. Draw to a suitable scale.
(i) Sectional plan of column and footing.
(ii) Sectional elevation of column and footing.
(iii) Prepare bar bending schedule for feeting steel and column steel upto 1 m above G.L.

4 Design a cantilever retaining wall to retain an earthen embankment 5 m high above ground level. The backfill is horizontal. The following details are available.
Density of backfill = 18kN/m3   Angle of internal friction ϕ=30°
Co-efficient of friction between soil and base slab =0.5.   SBC of soil = 200kN/m2
Adopt M20 garde concrete and Fe415 grade steel.
Draw to a suitable scale.
(i) Cross section of retaining wall . (ii) Longitudinal section of stem showing the curtailment of reinforcement.
(iii) Sectional plan showing the details of reinforcement in heel slab.

5 Design a combined footing for two R.C.C. columns A & B separated by a distance of 4 m c/c. Column A is 500 mm × 500 mm and carries a load of 1250 kN and column B is 600mm × 600mm and carries a load of 1600 kN. Take SBC of soil is 200 kN.m2 and use M20 concrete and Fe415 grade steel.
Draw to a suitable scale.
(i) Longitudinal sectional elevation.
(ii) C/s at Mid span locations to show details of reinforcement.
