Q. As the Structural Engineer of ABC Engineering Consulting firm, you are required to design a residential building. The architectural drawing is a residential apartment with one (1) suspended floor and a roof slab. The elements of the building are casted monolithically. The design life of the building is 50 years and the fire resistant requirement is 1 hour. Use the given data below, design and provide sketches of all the structural elements of the building except the foundation. Given Data: Floor to floor height is 3300 mm. Nominal cover (Cm) = 30 mm f, = 500 N/mm. Fa = 25 N/mm? Concrete unit wt. = 25 kN/mm. Characteristic variable actions = 2 kN/m. Floor finishes, ceiling and services = 1.5 kN/m?. Assume all other parameters not given.

Q.1 Chemical admixtures have been used in the production of concrete to improve its performance in both fresh and hardened states. Discuss the choice of admixtures available to impart the specific properties mentioned below. For each case, comment on the mode of action, including effects on chemical action, hydration process and properties of the concrete: (a) Construction of heavily reinforced beams, (b) Concreting in cold weathers.
Q.4 (a) A new concrete bridge is to be constructed near the sea and its design has to incorporate features protecting it from exposure to marine environments. Among these, a new coating system is being proposed for concrete. You have been awarded a six-month contract to evaluate this system and materials involved. Describe the major parts of your programme, assuming that you also have access to a structure on which the coating has recently been used.
