REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN II

(BFC32803)
SEMESTER II 2018/2019
ASSIGNMENT CQI 2
This assignment must be carried out individually. Answer all questions.

TOPIC: FRAME ANALYSIS

A complete sub-frame of braced system is shown in FIGURE C2. The sizes of beam and column are
400 mm x 750 mm and 500 mm x 500 mm, respectively. The clear height of the floor is 3350 mm. Given
the following specifications:

Characteristic strength of concrete = C30

Characteristic strength of steel = S500
Unit weight of concrete = 25.0 kN/m3
Permanent action = 34.13 kN/m
Variable action = 16.25 kN/m

a) Analyse the bending moment for upper and lower columns.

b) If the sagging moment at beams AB, BC and CD are 136 kNm, 5 kNm and 79 kNm respectively, draw
and label the bending moment of the frame. Ignore the value of hogging moment.
