Time: 3 Hrs. Max. Marks: 100
Notes:
1. Atempt any Four questions.
2 Use of all relevant IS & IRC Codes, steel table, and bridge rules of railways are
permitted.
3. Any missing data may be assumed suitably giving proper justification.
OVa) Calculate the design bending moment for the outer girder of an RC girder bridge due to
IRC class A loading (assume dead load moment as T025 kN-m). Important data are as
follows:
Structural form: Three girders of the same moment of inertia at 2.5 m cle distance
Effective span = l6m
Clear width of roadway F 6.8m, Kerb width on both sides=0.6m
Thickness of wearing coat = 80 mm
Thickness of slab= 200 mm
Also, design a mid-span section of the
outer girder to resist the above
moment. (21)

(bA 45m high microwave antenna lattice tower is to be built near Agra
on a level ground with
terrain category 2. The diameter of the hemispherical antenna disc fixed at the top is 3m. The width
of the tower at the top is 3.5m. Select a suitable configuration of the
tower. Further. calculate the
maximum axial forces in the legs of the tower due to wind force alone.

Q.4 (a) A10-meter-long simply supported pre-stressed concrete beam, with a

mm width and 600 mm depth, supports a uniformly distributed dead load of cross-section of 250

service stage and not during the
transfer of pre-stress. The beam is proposed to support a live load of 10 kN/m. Use unit weight of
concrete 24 kN/m The loss of pre-stress is 15%. Allowable
transfer is 12 MPa and at the service stage is17 MPa. In tension,compressive stress at the stage of

water.200 mm freeboard should be
