DRCC viva questions

1. HYSD- High yield strength deformed bars

2. CTD- Cold Twisted deformed bars

3. TMT- thermo mechanically treated bars

4. Different Grades of steel - Fe250, Fe415, Fe500

5. Different Grades of concrete - M5, M10,M15,M20,M25,M30 and high strength concrete

6. What are the different methods of RCC design

a. Working stress method

b. limit state method

c. ultimate load method

7. Deifen neutral axis

Neutral axis is an imaginary line which separate compression zone and tension zone in a beam

8. Define Effective span

Centre to centre spacing between the two end supports is called the effective span.

9. Define clear span

Inner to inner distance between the opposite supports is called clear span

10. Define Clear cover and Effective cover

Clear cover: distance between the bottom of the structural members to the surface of the steel bar is
called the clear cover.

Effective cover: distance between the bottom of the structural member to the centre of the
reinforcement is called effective cover.

11. How will u decide the cover in RCC members?

Cover will be decided based on the exposure condition of the structure, like mild, moderate, severe,
very severe and extreme weather conditions

12. What is the density of RCC?

Density of RCC is 25 kN/ m3

13. What is the density of plain concrete?


Density of Plain concrete is 24 kN/ m3.

14. Minimum number of bars to be used in a square or rectangular column

4 No's

15. Minimum diameter of main bar used in column

12 mm

16. What is the minimum percentage of steel in column as per IS 456- 2000.

0.8% of gross cross sectional area

17. What is the maximum percentage of steel in column as per IS 466- 2000.

4% of Gross cross sectional area

18. What are the minimum number of main bars used in circular column?

6 No's

19. What is the difference between singly reinforced and doubly reinforced beam?

In singly reinforced beam main steel is provided only in the tension zone of the beam.

In doubly reinforced beam main steel is provided both in compression and tension zones of beam.

20. Where will be the maximum bending moment in case of a simply supported beam?

Maximum bending moment will be at the mid span for a simply supported beam.

21. Where will be the maximum bending moment occurs in a cantilever beam?

Maximum Bending moment will be at the support section for a cantilever beam.

22. What is the minimum diameter of stirrups used in beams?

6mm

23. What is the maximum spacing limit for vertical stirrups and later ties in structural members?

300 mm

24. What is the difference between one way and two way slab

One way slab.

Ratio of longer span to shorter span if it is greater than 2 then the slab will be one way slab
Main reinforcement will be provided along the shorter span only.

Distribution steel will be provided along the longer span.

Load will be distributed along one direction.

Two way slab:

Ratio of longer span to shorter span will be less than 2.

Main reinforcement will be provided in both shorter and longer span directions

Load distribution will be in two mutually perpendicular directions.

25. What is the minimum percentage of steel that must be used in a slab?

0.12 % of gross cross sectional area for HYSD- bars.

0.15% of gross cross sectional area for mild steel bars.

26. What is the use of stirrups in a beam?

Stirrups helps to resist the shear forces in a beam

27. What is the use of main bars in a beam?

Main bars are used to resist the applied bending moment on a beam.

28. For a cantilever beam where will be the position of main steel?

In a cantilever beam main steel will be provided at the top/ tension zone.

29. What is the function of footing in a structure?

Footing helps to distribute the applied load on a greater area of earth there by helps in load distribution.

30. What are the different types of footing?

Square footing

Rectangular footing

Combined footing

Mat/ Raft footing etc

31. How the size of the footing will be decided?

Footing size and foundation type will be decided on the Value of SBC of soil at the site.
32. What is the effective depth in beam?

Effective depth is the vertical distance between top of the beam to the centre of the main
reinforcement.

33. What are the different partial safety factors used in RCC design

a. partial safety factors for load

b. Partial safety factors for material

34. Which code book is used for design of RCC structures in India.

IS- 456: 2000 and SP 16

35. What is the use of development length in structural members.

Development helps to achieve proper bonding between steel and concrete it also helps in transferring of
stresses.

36. Different types of loads acting on structures.

Dead load( IS 875 part1)

Live load( IS 875 part 2)

Wind load( IS 875 Part3)

Snow load( IS 875 part4)

Earthquake load(IS 1893 part1- 2016)
