CE23:Reinforced Concrete Road Bridges Assignment-2 with solution : Aug-Sep,2018
Q6: Design of RCC simply supported beams carrying uniformly distributed load is based
on the resultant bending moment at
(a) Supports
(b) Mid span
(c) Every section
(d) Quarter span
Q7: The maximum area of tension reinforcement in beams shall not exceed
(a) 0.15%
(b) 1.5%
(c) 4.0%
(d) 6.0%
Q8: For σcbc = 5.0 N/mm2 and σst = 230 N/mm2 , according to working stress
method, the modular ratio will be
(a) 18.67
(b) 22.40
(c) 26.13
(d) 29.87
Q9: For σcbc = 5.0 N/mm2 and σst = 230 N/mm2 , the ratio of neutral axis from
compression fiber and depth for balanced section is
(a) 0.144
(b) 0.216
(c) 0.289
(d) 0.361
280 280
Explanation: Given, σcbc = 5.0N/mm2 , σst = 230N/mm2 , m = 3σcbc
= 3×5.0
= 18.67,
The ratio of neutral axis and effective depth
x mσcbc
=
d mσcbc + σst
18.67 × 5.0
=
18.67 × 5.0 + 230
= 0.289
Q10: For σcbc = 5.0 N/mm2 and σst = 230 N/mm2 , width,b = 300mm, effective
depth, d = 500mm moment of resistance of the balanced section is
(a) 40.593kNm
(b) 54.124kNm
(c) 67.655kNm
(d) 81.186kNm
Explanation: Given, σcbc = 5.0 N/mm2 and σst = 230 N/mm2 , width,b = 300mm,
effective depth, d = 500mm

=
3 × 5.0
= 18.67
The ratio of neutral axis and effective depth
x mσcbc
k= =
d mσcbc + σst
18.67 × 5.0
=
18.67 × 5.0 + 230
= 0.289
j = (1 − k/3) = (1 − 0.289/3) = 0.904
