1. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for Reinforced Concrete beam to suit the
following data:
Clear span =3m
Width of supports = 200 mm
Working live load = 6 kN/m
M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 HYSD bars (Use IS 456 Code provisions)
2. Design and Develop a spreadsheet for Reinforced concrete beam of rectangular
section using the following data: (Use IS 456 Code provisions)
Effective span =8m
Working live load = 30 kN/m
Overall depth restricted to 650 mm
M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel
Assuming width = 300 mm
Effective depth = 600 mm
Effective cover = 50 mm
3. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for a simply supported R.C.C slab for an office
floor having clear dimensions of 4m by 10 m with 230 walls all-round. Adopt M20
grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel.
4. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for a room of size of 4 m by 5 m with
discontinuous and simply supported edges on all the sides with corners prevented
from lifting to support a live load of 4 kN/m 2. Adopt M20 grade concrete and Fe 415
grade steel.

5. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for the reinforcements in a column of size 400
mm by 600 mm subjected to an axial working load of 2000 kN. The column has an
unsupported length of 3 m. Adopt M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel.
6. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for the longitudinal and lateral reinforcement in a
rectangular reinforced concrete column of size 300 mm by 400 mm subjected to a
design ultimate load of 1200 kN and an ultimate moment of 200 kN.m with respect
to the major axis. Adopt M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel.
7. Design & Develop a spreadsheet for a reinforce concrete column 400 mm by 400
mm supports an axial service load of 1000 kN. The safe bearing capacity of the soil
at the site is 200 kN/m2. Design a suitable footing for the column and sketch the
details of reinforcements. Adopt M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel.
8. Estimate the quantities of materials upto parapet wall for the given building (Fig-1)
using excel spreadsheet
9. Estimate the quantities of materials upto plinth level for the given building (Fig-2)
using excel spreadsheet
10. Run the analysis and Determine the discharge in each link and the pressure at
each node for the pipe network shown below using EPANET. The link and node
data is given in the table below. In addition, the pump (Link 9) can deliver 150 ft of
head at a flow of 75 lps, and the tank (Node 7) has a 60-ft diameter, a 3.5-ft water
level, and a maximum level of 20 feet.
