ISRO Scientist Civil case studies
ISRO Scientist Civil · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ISRO Scientist/Engineer 'SC' Civil recruitment examination is the entry route into scientific and engineering posts at the Indian Space Research Organisation for civil engineering graduates. It is aimed at candidates who hold a first-class BE/BTech (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering and who want to work on launch-pad structures, ground infrastructure, water and environmental systems, and site facilities rather than on satellite payloads themselves. The ISRO Scientist Civil case studies are 5 cases and about 4,281 words.
1RCC Beam with Excess Deflection, Flexural Cracks and a Late Load Addition
A G+4 office block in Bhopal uses RCC beam–slab floors to M25/Fe500. One interior beam is 300 mm wide × 600 mm deep with an 8.0 m clear span; it carries a 150 mm slab (tributary width 4.0 m) and a 230 mm brick partition along part of its length.

A six-storey RC framed residential block, 30 m × 20 m in plan, is to be founded on a raft at 2.0 m depth. The profile is 3 m of recently placed sandy fill (γ = 18 kN/m³) over 8 m of soft-to-medium clay (SPT N = 4–6, w = 42%, e = 1.15, Cc = 0.32, cv = 2.0 m²/yr, cu ≈ 28 kPa) resting on dense sand with N 50.
