Figure below shows part of the first floor plan of a reinforced concrete office building.
During construction, slabs and beams are cast together. The overall thickness of slab is
125mm and the dimensions of the beams are as given in the diagram. The finishes, ceiling
and services form a characteristic permanent action of 1.5kN/m 2. The characteristic variable
action is 3.0kN/m2. Three meter high brickwall weighing 2.6kN/m2 is placed over the entire
span of all beams. The construction materials consist of Grade C25 concrete and Grade 500
steel reinforcement. For durability consideration a nominal cover of 30mm is required.
Based on the information provided:
a) Calculate the design action carried by beam 2/B-C
b) Sketch the bending moment and shear force diagrams of beam 2/B-C
c) Design the beam for ultimate and serviceability limit states.
