RCC Structures Design Questions
Shear cracking in reinforced concrete: An R.C.C. beam without shear (web) reinforcement typically develops diagonal cracks at the bottom inclined at approximately what angle to the horizontal?
Minimum diameter of longitudinal bars in reinforced concrete columns: As per standard practice, the longitudinal reinforcement in a column should not be less than what bar diameter?
Flat slab design terminology: The effective width of a column strip in a flat slab panel is taken as what fraction of the panel width for distribution of bending moments?
Shear capacity check in beams: If the computed nominal shear stress in a reinforced concrete beam exceeds what value, must the beam dimensions be revised (rather than relying only on stirrups)?
Effective span for design of a simply supported reinforced concrete slab: Which single expression best represents the effective span used for bending moment calculations?
Minimum number of longitudinal bars in reinforced concrete columns: Select the correct set of minimum bar counts for typical column shapes used in building frames.
Prestressed concrete—bent tendon for point-load balancing: If a bent (deviated) tendon is required to balance a central concentrated load W on a span L, what is the minimum central dip h in terms of prestressing force P?
Stair proportioning rule of thumb: For comfortable stair design, which empirical relationship between rise (R) and tread (T) is commonly used?
Retaining wall detailing — identify the incorrect reinforcement placement statement for stem, toe slab, and heel slab in a cantilever retaining wall.
Slenderness of an RCC column — a 32 cm diameter circular column has effective length 4.40 m. Compute its slenderness ratio using l_eff / r.
Concrete practice (IS 456) — permissible pH of mixing water: as per IS 456:1978, the pH value of water shall be what minimum?
Minimum steel in RCC slabs — as a percentage of gross cross-sectional area, the minimum tensile reinforcement in slabs shall be:
Base pressure under retaining wall — to keep pressure wholly compressive under a base of width b, the resultant eccentricity e must not exceed:
Prestressed concrete beam with bent tendon — for an external load W and prestress P at inclination θ (two symmetric bends), the net downward load at midspan equals:
Definition of a pile — choose the most general and correct statement describing how a pile transfers load to the ground.
IS 456 limit — maximum percentage of tension reinforcement permitted in RCC beams (as a percentage of cross-sectional area) is:
Elastic analysis of singly reinforced beams — if d is the effective depth and n is the neutral axis depth (from the top), the lever arm z equals:
Reinforced concrete beam safety check: A beam of width 25 cm with an effective lever arm (jd) of 40 cm resists a shear force of 6 t; the permissible (safe) shear stress is 5 kg/cm² and the applied bending moment is 24 t·m. Assess the beam's adequacy in shear under these conditions.
Stair design basics: For a stair with rise R and tread T spanning horizontally, supported by a wall on one side and a stringer beam on the other, the effective design width of each step (treated as a small beam) is taken as which expression?
Prestressed concrete with two symmetric point loads: A rectangular prestressed beam carries two equal loads W placed at L/3 from each end. A bent tendon with force P is profiled so that the central one-third is horizontal (parallel to the beam axis). What should be the maximum tendon dip h (sag) to balance the loads?
