. A simply supported reinforced concrete beam needs to be designed with the following details: Size of Beam: 350 mm x 450 mm. Effective length of Beam: 8 m. Dead Load excluding self-weight of Beam: 30.5 kN/m Reinforcement: 25 mm bars and 8 mm stirrups Effective cover to compression reinforcement: 30 mm
i. Design the beam and find out the number of bars required.
ii. Design the beam for shear.
iii. Draw the detailing of beam.
Live load = 3KN/m square.
The missing values should be assume.

* Assume any data if missing.
* Consider fcu=40 N/mm2
, fy = fyv = 460 N/mm2
, moderate exposure condition and 1.5 hours of fire
resistance for all the questions.
* Use B.S 8110 for all your calculations and references.
* Draw the structural detailing after designing each member for all
the questions.
*Unit weight of concrete as 25 kN/m3

A tangent section of highway has a -1.0% grade and
ends at station 0+145 and
elevation 26 m. It must be connected to another section of highway
that has a -1.0% grade and that
begins at station 1 + 350 and elevation 40 m. The connecting
alignment should consist of a sag
curve, constant grade section, and crest curve, and be designed for
a speed of 80 km/h. What is the
lowest grade possible for the constant grade section that will
complete the alignment?

Consider a rectangular channel with a variable width b and horizontal channel bottom, a) Obtain the equation of water surface profile (dy/dx) as function of Froude number and channel width change (db/dx) in a channel transition assuming that over a short distance x, the energy losses can be neglected. b) Using the equation you have obtained, draw the water surface profile if flow is subcritical and if there is an enlargement in channel cross section b in downstream section (2) and show your results on the graph of specific energy curve (E versus y curve).
