This document provides questions and information for a tutorial on basic material properties and design load calculations for reinforced concrete structures. It includes sample data files and asks students to calculate characteristic live loads, concrete strengths, design moments for slabs and beams, design loads for columns in a portal frame, and compare sample concrete strength data to theoretical normal distributions. Students are also asked about determining concrete compressive strength and obtaining stress-strain curves for steel rebar.

Autumn 2022-23
Tutorial # 1: Basic Material Properties and Design Loads Calculation

Q1. Solve the following while showing the steps in your calculations:
a. A reinforced concrete (RC) column in an old building is instrumented to estimate the
vertical live load acting on the column. The file ‘Live_Load_Data.xlsx’ uploaded in
Moodle lists 100 such recorded live load data from past several years. Find the
characteristic live load acting on the column. Also, assuming that the column dead load
can be modelled using a Normal distribution with mean 80kN and standard deviation
of 10kN, find the design load under strength or collapse limit state consideration.
b. Sample test results from crushing strength test of a batch of concrete are given in the
file ‘Concrete_Data.xlsx’. Estimate 𝑓𝑐𝑘 . If another batch of concrete tested in another
lab has the same characteristic strength but a standard deviation of 15 MPa, find 𝑓𝑐𝑚 .
Out of the two batches of concrete, which one would you adopt and why?

Q2. Slabs supported by beams on all four sides are typically of two types: one way slabs and
𝐿
two way slabs. If the length to width ratio ( 𝑦⁄𝐿 ) is greater than 2, the slab acts as a one way
𝑥
slab and the beams along the long spans are assumed to carry the load from the slab (Fig. 1a).
𝐿
However, in two way slabs with 𝑦⁄𝐿 < 2, as per the yield line theory, the load is assumed to
𝑥
be distributed to the beams as shown in Fig. 1b.
Consider the floor plan shown in Fig. 2 of an office room in Main Building where slabs S1, S2
and S3 and supported by beams B1 to B8. Determine the design moment of beam B7 for the
ultimate limit state.
[Assume:
• Unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25kN/m3
• Slab thickness = 200mm
• Width and depth of all beams are 250mm and 500mm respectively]

Q3. The portal RC frame shown in Fig. 3 is loaded by: Dead load (self-weight) of 10kN/m;
Imposed live load of 30kN/m; Wind load of 15kN/m. Find the design compressive loads in
both the columns for the following load combinations
a) Dead Load and Live Load
b) Dead Load and Wind Load
c) Dead Load, Live Load and Wind Load

Q4. Cube strength of M25 grade concrete was determined based on experimental results in two
batches of 30 samples and 200 samples. The results of these two batch samples are given in
files tut1_1a_30samp.txt and tut1_1b_200samp.txt, respectively.
Based on BIS: 10262 (2009), M25 grade concrete is assumed to follow a normal distribution
with mean of 31.6 MPa and standard deviation of 4 MPa. For both the given sample data
calculate the following:
(a) The sample mean and sample standard deviation.
(b) Plot the sample frequency histograms and compare them with the normal distribution
probability density function (PDF).

Q5. (a) How is the compressive strength of concrete is determined?


(b) How to obtain the stress-strain curve of Fe 250 mild steel rebars? Also, compare the stress–
strain curves for mild steel and HYSD rebars?
