ASSIGNMENT in Structural Design

The document provides information about the design of continuous beams C1-C4 that are part of a double storey office block being constructed by Copperbelt University. It includes the design loads, member sizes, material strengths, and fire resistance requirement. The question asks to design the steel reinforcement at the middle and supports of several beams, provide shear reinforcement at some supports, and check deflection.

The Copperbelt University is constructing a double storey office

block. A typical floor plan of the building structure as provided by the


School of built environment Architects is as shown in the figure
below.

Design Information
The slab supports an imposed load of 4 kN/m2 and finishes of 1.5
kN/m2. The overall sizes of the beams are 450x300mm and the slab
thickness is 175mm as indicated on the drawing. The columns are
300x 300 mm. The characteristic strength of the concrete is 30
N/mm2 and of the steel reinforcement is 460 N/mm2 and 250 N/mm2
for the links. The fire resistance requirements is 1 Hour for all
elements.The self weight of concrete is 24kN/m3

QUESTION- BEAM DESIGN

Design continuous beams C1-C4

Provide for steel reinforcement at the Middle of C3-C2

Provide for steel reinforcement at the At support C2 (and C3)

Provide for shear reinforcement at Support C1 (and C4)

Check for deflection at the critical span.
