A rehabilitationwork will be carried out to retrofitseveral columns of a reinforced concrete multi-

storey car park which have exhibited extensive cracking and spalling due to carbonation induced

corrosion. Being in Malaysia, the surrounding temperature is expected to be stable throughout

the year. In order to ensure that loads are distributed equally throughout the area of the affected

columns, the repair area should carry part of the imposed load. Thus, in order to ensure effective

load sharing and durable repair work, the selected repair material should possess certain

important properties. Identify and discuss five (5) of those important properties with appropriate

justificationsfor each one.

A reinforced concrete beam of normal weight concrete with an effective depth of 20 IN and a width of 12 IN is reinforced with 3 IN2 of grade 60 (fy = 60 KSI) rebar. The beam has a concrete compressive strength f’c of 3000 PSI. (a) Determine the maximum ultimate moment which can be applied to the beam. (b) If the only dead load on the beam is self-weight, determine the allowable uniformly distributed live load which can be applied...

Design a concrete mix for reinforced concrete beams of a structure. The structure is located in a locality wherein water has excess of chlorides in it. Required average compressive strength of concrete has been determined to be 4700 psi. Beams have cross-section of 9 in. x 21 in. reinforced with 4 # 6 bars. Reinforcement has a concrete cover of 1.25 in. and there is a clear space of 1.0 in. between form surface and steel bars. Fine aggregate has...
