the wall, Fix the dimension of retaining wall and carry out all stability
checks. The unit weight of soil is 18 KN/m3 and angle of internal friction
is 300. The bearing capacity of soil is 150 KN/m2 and coefficient of
friction between base and soil is 0.55. Use M20 – Fe 415.
2. Design an interior panel of flat slab having equal panels of 5m × 5m. The
internal columns are 500 mm in diameter and column head is 1000 mm
in diameter. The storey height above and below slab is 4m. Design the
flat slab with drop and column head. Live load 4 Kn/m2. M-20 concrete
and Fe-415 steel.
3. Estimate wind forces for a water tank for the following data. Total height
of tank=30 m. which includes height the supporting shaft = 22m, height
of the bottom conical portion = 3 m, height of cylindrical portion = 4 m
and rise of top dome =1m, diameter of supporting portion = 5 m and
diameter of cylindrical portion =12m, location is Surat , Terrain category
= 2 and class = B , ground plane with upwind slope less than 30, Design
life year 100 years.
4. Prepare structural layout and nominate all the members like slabs,
beams, columns of G+3 building (whole structure) of having 4 bays of 5
m in X –direction and 4 bays of 3 m in Y-direction. Design any one slab
penal having one long edge discontinues.
5. The counter fort retaining wall has to retain the earth with a horizontal
top 5.0 m above ground level. Density of earth is 16 kN/m3. Angle of
internal friction ϕ is 30 degree. SBC of soil is 190 kN/m2. Coefficient of
friction μ is 0.6. Determine dimensions of the retaining wall.

tank to store 5.8 lacs liter of water. Height of staging =15 m up to bottom
of tank, wind load = 1.5 KN/m2 throughout the height. Use M30 grade
concrete and Fe 415 grade steel.
11.A 200 mm thick R.C.C. flat slab is loaded by live load of 4 KN/m2 and
floor finish load of 1 KN/m2. It is supported by 4 columns of size 300 x
400 mm, without providing drop and column head. The columns are
placed at 4.5 m x 6 m centre to centre. Design the slab considering an
interior panel. Check the slab for shear considering an interior panel.
