Q1 Figure Q1 shows a single storey ground floor plan of a single storey reinforced concrete
residential house. For design and construction purposes, all slabs and the beam are casting
integrally. All slabs subjected to a characteristic permanent actions of 1.3 kN/m2 (excluding
self-weight). The slab panel has to be designed for a maximum characteristic variable action
referring to BS EN 1991-1-1:2002. Based on the information provide;
(a) Sketch the structural plan layout for the ground floor.
(3 marks)
(b) Determine the ultimate bending moment for slab panel at Bedroom 1.
(6 marks)
(d) During construction, the house owner asked to replace all slab panels to non-suspended.
With aid of sketches, briefly discuss the consequence of the replacement on its design
and construction.
(3 marks)
Q2 Figure Q2 shows the cross section of a reinforced concrete staircase for the hospital building.
The staircase has to be designed with maximum characteristic of variable action referring to
BS EN 1991-1-1:2002, while finishes and handrails is 1.2 kN/m2. All beam sizes are 250 mm
wide and 500 mm deep.
(a) Propose the most suitable dimension of going as required in BS 5395 comfortness
guideline for this staircase.
(2 marks)
(b) Analyse the actions of this staircase, draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams
with the important values.
(8 marks)
