1. Design a combined footing for C1 of size 400mm  400mm and C 2 of size 28

600 600mm . The load on column is 850 kN and C 2 is 1150 kN. The column are
separated by 4 m centre to centre. The SBC of soil is 120kN / m2 . Use M20 concrete and
Fe 415 steel. The width of footing is restricted to 3 m.
OR
2. A building consist of 9 columns 450 450mm sizes arranged in three rows of three each. 28
The distance between column is 3.7 m in both direction c/c. The load carried by four corner
columns is 100 kN each, that carried by interior column is 1500 kN each. Assume safe
bearing capacity of soil is 125kN / m2 . Use M20 concrete and Fe 415 steel. Draw
reinforcement details. Design Raft Foundation.

3. Derive expression for reaction slope and bending moment for an infinitely long beam 14
resting on elastic foundation subjected to uniformly distributed load 'w' over the length ' '
OR
4. Derive the expression for reaction, slope and deflection for an infinitely long beam 14
resting on elastic foundation subjected to concrete load 'p' on the beam.

5. What are the various methods of estimating load carrying capacity of a pile? Explain in 14
brief.
OR
6. A beam PQRS is having of ' ' meters and is resting on elastic foundation. From point 'Q' 14
a load 'W' is acting upward and from point 'S' a load W is acting downward. The point 'Q'
and 'S' are ' ' distance away from P and R Respectively. Find deflection at P and moment
at centre of beam.

7. Explain detail the factor which are required for the design procedure of simple machine 14
foundation.
OR
8. Describe the design of simple machine in detail and its parameters as per IS – Code. 14
