Explanation

1. (d)
Modulus of elasticity of concrete is dependent on its compressive strength. Lower w/c ratio,larger curing
period, higher vibration will produce concrete of higher compressive strength. With increase in age,
compressive strength increases and therefore modulus of elasticity of concrete decrease with decreases
in age.

simultaneously.

Design load for collapse:
(i) 1.5 DL + 1.5 LL = 1.5 × 120 + 1.5 × 200 = 480 kN/m
(ii) 1.5 DL + 1.5 WL = 1.5 × 120 + 1.5 × 25 = 217.5 kN/m
(iii) 1.2 DL + 1.2 LL + 1.2 EL = 1.2 × 120 + 1.2 × 200 + 1.2 × 25 = 414 kN/m
So, maximum of three values will be design load = 480 kN/m

Mu, lim = 180 kN-m

⇒ W = 26.66 kN/m
Self weight = b × D × γ

∴ Net intensity of superimposed load
= 26.66 – 3.44 = 23.22 kN/m

where, l0 = Distance between points of zero moments = 3.6 m
bw = Breadth of web = 300 m
Df = Thickness of flange = thickness of slab = 100 mm

3.6 × 1000
bf = + 300 + 6 × 100

14. (a)
Variation of stresses in tendon due to change in external loading is not considered.

Hence, we can apply Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
Factored load, Pu = 1.5 × 3000 = 4500 kN
A = 400 × 550 = 220000 mm2
Now, Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc

Losses due to shrinkage strain = ε × Es
