1RCC Beam: Flexural Capacity and Shear Reinforcement Dispute
A 300 mm wide × 500 mm deep simply supported RCC beam of clear span 6.0 m carries a factored uniformly distributed load. Analysis gives a factored design moment of 175 kN·m at mid-span and a factored shear of 220 kN at the support face.

A four-storey RC office building is to be founded on a 6 m thick normally consolidated soft clay layer. Undrained shear strength is 60 kPa, coefficient of volume compressibility is 4 × 10⁻⁴ m²/kN, bulk unit weight is 18 kN/m³, and the water table lies 2.0 m below ground level.

An irrigation reservoir on a seasonal river is planned to meet a constant draft of 30 Mm³ per month at the canal headworks. The gauged monthly inflows for a representative 12-month period, in Mm³, are: 8, 6, 5, 4, 12, 38, 80, 92, 62, 33, 12 and 8 (total 360 Mm³).
