Assignment I

CE 5630: Advanced Theory and Design of Reinforced Concrete

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Determine the Area under the normal probability curve between z = 1.2 and z
= 1.94

2. Determine the probability of a set of observations, believed to be normally


distributed, having values that fall below their mean by 1.64 times their
standard deviation.

3. A set of concrete cube strengths are normally distributed with a mean of 45


N/mm2 and a standard deviation of 5 N/mm2. (a) Determine the probability of
a random cube having strength between 50 and 60 N/mm2. (b) Determine the
range in which we would expect these strengths to fall, with a probability of
99%.

4. A single reinforced rectangular beam is 400mm wide. The effective depth of


the beam section is 560mm and its effective cover is 40mm. The steel
reinforcement consists of 4 MS 18mm diameter bars in the beam section. The
grade of concrete is M20. Locate the neutral axis of the beam section.

5. In example 1, the bending moment at a transverse section of beam is 105 kN-


m. Determine the strains at the extreme fibre of concrete in compression and
steel bars provided as reinforcement in tension. Also determine the stress in
steel bars.

6. In example 2, the strain in concrete at the extreme fibre in compression εcu is


0.00069 and the tensile stress in bending in steel is 199.55 N/mm2. Determine
the depth of neutral axis and the moment of resistance of the beam section.
