Figure Q2 shows the plan view of slab-beam system in one building. Due to construction works,
beam and a part of the slab has to act as a pre-cast concrete slab. Given;
                      Slab thickness = 125 mm
                      Beam size = 250 mm x 600 mm
                      Finishes = 1.0 kN/m    2
                      Ceiling = 1.0 kN/m 2
                      Weight of concrete = 25 kN/m 3
                      3 m height brickwall = 2.6 kN/m (entire building)
                                                       2
                      Characteristic variable action, qk = 3.0 kN/m2
                      Characteristic. strength of concrete, fck = 25 N/mm2
                      Characteristic strength of steel, fyk = 500 N/mm2
   (a) Calculate design action act on beam B/1-3
   (b) Draw shear and bending moment diagram for beam B/1-3
   (c) Design the area of tension reinforcement (As) required of the section by using the stress
       block diagram and classify either the section is under or over reinforced. Assume the
       depth to compression reinforcement and tension reinforcement are 50 mm and 410 mm,
       respectively .
