QUALITY CONTROL and BEAM-COLUMN JOINT

1. In a construction site 80m3 of concrete to be deposited in one continuous

operation in 10 batches of 8m3 each. The no. of samples to be collected from
different batches for 28days strength test is 5. From which batch the samples
to be collected?
2. The depth of concrete pavement has to be sampled for acceptance. The total
length of the pavement is 30,000m and the contract documents identify a
total of 3lots each having a length of 10000m. each lot is divided into 10 sub
lots and Six depth measurements has to be done. in which sub lot and at
what distance should the depth measurements be done?
3. At a construction site, the specified grade of concrete is M25 and the
established standard deviation is 3.5MPa. The following test results
represents the average strength of 3 cube specimens tested at 28 days.
Apply acceptance criteria based on IS 456:2000 to test the results.

DEEP BEAMS and SHEAR WALL

1. Design a single span deep beam to suit the following data:

Effective span =6m

Overall depth =6m
Width of support=0.6m
Width of beam=0.4m
Total load on beam including self weight = 400KN/m.
M20 concrete and Fe415 steel is used.
