Colm C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7
DL (kN) 700 800 900 600 800 800 700

3. Derive from first principal the equation for deflection, slope, shear force at any point for an 17
infinitely long beam resting on elastic foundation with applied load 'P' at centre.

SECTION – B

4. Design a strap footing for two columns A & B spaced 5m. c/c column A is 400mm square 35
& carries a load of 750 kN & is on the property line. Column B is 500mm square & carries
a load of 1000 kN. The SBC of soil is 140 kN/m3. Use M20 concrete & Fe415 steel. Sketch
the reinforcement details.

5. Design a rectangular slab type combined footing for two columns having size 450mm x 35
450mm & 650mm x 650mm. They carry an Axial load of 1500 kN & 1700 kN. The columns
are spaced at 3.5m centre to centre the width of footing is restricted to 2.2m. The safe
bearing capacity of soil is 140 kN/m2. Use M20 concrete & Fe415 steel. Draw the
reinforcement details.
