    Find out the earth pressure on tank when wall with moist bac k fill when the tank is empty and underground
  • b
    Analyze the overhead tanks for Wind forces. 10 2
  • c
    Write the advantages of Prestressed concrete over Reinforced concrete. 10 3
  • d
    In a post tensioned beam the cable is subjected to 1150 N/mm 2. If the slip at the jacking end is found to be 3.50 m . Find the percen tage loss of stress due to this case if the beam is 20 m long
  • e
    What situation when deep beams are used ? And write empirica l expressions for lever arm (z)
Section CAttempt any one p a r t o f t h e f o l l o w i n g :
  • a
    A clarifier tank of diameter 35 m has walls 5.25 m tall abov e its base slab. Using M25 concrete and Fe 415 steel design the tank
  • b
    Find the active earth pressure for the tank if back fill is saturated sandy soil
  • a
    Find the Bending moment for the base slab of tank situated a bove ground level
  • b
    A reinforced concrete water tank is 6mx 3 m with a maximum d epth of 2.5m . 150 mm x 150 mm splays are provided at the junction of w alls and base slab . The tank is supported on brick masonry walls al l round. Design the tank use M20 concrete and mild steel reinforcement
  • a
    Write the basic concepts of Prestressed concrete. 10 3
  • b
    A rectangular concrete beam 300 mm x 500 mm with a span of 7 .5m is prestressed by a straight cable carrying an effective prestress ing force of 400 kN, located at an eccentricity of 50 mm . If the beam suppo rts a live load of 2.5 kN/m, calculate the resultant stresses at the centr a l c r o s s – section of the beam
