DESIGN ASSIGNMENTS Flat Plate Design (Weighting: 15%) Repeat the example in Section 8.7 of the book Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete – Analysis and Design with emphasis on application of AS 3600-2009 by Loo and Chowdhury (2013) with the following specifications:  fc′ = 32 MPa  the end spans in the x and y directions = 8 m (instead of 10 m)  the interior spans = 10 m (instead of 12 m). Note that the modified Figure 8.7(1) incorporating the above changes is given as follows. y y 3.0m 3.0m 2.5m 8m 10m 10m 8m 4m 5m Slab I }HMS1* Column strip }HMS2* L'3 L"3 l2 l1 x z a a b b c c d d L C R Slab I (Member I) 3.0m 8m 2.5m 3.0m 10m 8m x (a) Plan (b) Side elevation z Figure 8.7(l) (c) Elevation2 Prestressed Concrete Design Problems Seven questions on prestressed concrete beam design and analysis from the book Loo, Y.C. and Chowdhury, S.H.
