The following figure 1(a) shows a part of a reinforced concrete building in a school. The structure consists of precast concrete hollow slabs that rests on the 10.8m long two reinforced concrete beams. The beams are supported on reinforced concrete columns. It is given that, on the top surface of the hollow slab, there will be a concrete screed with 50 mm thickness (assume density of concrete screed is 25 kN/m). In addition, there will be tiles that weigh 0.05 kN/m. It is given that self-weight of reinforced concrete hollow slab is 367 kg/m. a) Calculate the characteristic permanent load and variable load on the precast concrete hollow slab per m². b) Calculate the characteristic permanent load and characteristic variable load on beam AB Consider the weight of beam AB. c) Calculate the partial factor of safety using e. 6.10a and e.q 6.10b for beam AB at the Ultimate Limit State. d) Calculate and draw design bending moment and shear diagrams for all possible load arrangements on beam AB.
