SECTION -A
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.

1. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for all the girders of the frame as
shown in Figure 1. Use Portal method. (23 X)
2. Using approximate method of analysis for gravity loads, draw the bending moment
diagrams for all the columns and girders and also the axial force diagrams of the columns
for the frame shown in Figure 2. All the columns have same cross section and are
uniform throughout the height. Use un-factored load. (23 X)
3. (a) Why is the strength reduction factor, <I>for columns is lower than those for flexure? (3)
(b) Determine the design axial load (factored) for the column marked tlC1 in the grid II

shown in Figure 3 at the ground floor level of a 5 storied building. Slab thickness is
6 inch, floor finish load is 25 psf and live load is 60 psf on all the floors. Disregard self-
weight of the column and the beams. (5 ~)
(c) Design a square tied column to support an axial deal load of 500 kips and a live load
of 300 kips using f~ = 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. Assume a proper steel ratio within limits and

design the necessary ties also. (15)

4. (a) Explain different types of failures that may occur in shear walls with proper illustrations. (6X)
(b) A three storied shear wall is subjected to lateral forces as shown in Figure 4. The wall
is 15 feet long and 12" thick. Design the shear wall for both moment and shear. All the
relevant formulae are provided in Annexure. Use f~ = 3 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. (17)

SECTION -B
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.
Assume any reasonable value of missing data.

5. (a) Write down the differences between meridional thrust and hoop stress in a dome. (4~)
(b) "Vierendeel Truss does not fit the strict definition of a truss~' -explain. (6X)

(c) Write down the advantages and disadvantages of 'Concrete Translation Shells'. (4~)
(d) Describe the factors contributing to loss iIi prestress. (8)

6. (a) A VierendeelSteel Truss (AB) is used to support corner columns of a rectangular

building of 200 ft x 150 ft, 5 stories high (Figure - 5(a)). The truss consists of 10 panels

15 ft x 10 ft each, with the chords at the level of 151 and 2nd floors (Figure-5(b )).

Determine shear force and bending moment at panel 2, 4 and 7. (17)

Given that,
The total factored loads (dead load + live load) per floor is = 220 psf

fy = 60 ksi

(b) Write down the differences between Prestressed and Reinforced concrete. (6~)

7. (a) Derive the equation of hoop stress in a dome due to a concentrated load at the crown. (19)
(b) Write down the differences between "vault" and "barrels shell". (4~)

8. (a) Why high strength concrete and steel are used in prestressed concrete? (3 ~)
(b) A posttensioned bonded concrete rectangular beam has a prestress of 17?0 KN in the
steel immediately after prestressing, which eventually reduces to 1600 KN due to losses.
The beam carries a uniformly distributed live load of 5 KNlm and three point live load of
50 KN in addition to its own weight of 5.5 KNlm (Figure-6). Compute the extreme fibre
stresses in the concrete (using gross section) at a location 7.0 m from left support,
(i) under the initial condition with full prestress and no live load and (ii) under the final

condition, after the losses have taken place and with full live load. (14)
(c) Differentiate between: (6)
(i) Partial and Full prestressing
(ii) Pretensioning and Posttensioning
(iii) Bonded and Unbonded Tendons
