4. A building having floor to floor height as 3.1 m is to be provided an open well staircase. Design the open well staircase. Draw the plan showing flight details, mid landing etc. and draw Reinforcement details in a flight. Use materials concrete is M20 and steel Fe 415
(20 marks) 9934

5. Design a reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall supporting a backfill of height 4.5 m above ground. Take density of soil = 19 kN/m$^{3}$. Angle of repose =30°. SBC of soil = 200 kN/m$^{3}$ and coefficient of friction between concrete and soil =0.55. Grade of concrete is M20 and steel is Fe 415.

Design the stem and toe of wall and show all stability checks. Draw reinforcement details of toe and stem with curtailment of reinforcements.

(20 marks) 9951

6.a. Following figure shows the layout plan of the columns of a building. Design a raft foundation for the building. Working loads acting on columns are given below.

Take net bearing capacity = 100 kN/m$^{3}$.

Load on columns C1 and C3 = 750 kN.

Load on columns C2 and C4 = 1000 KN.

Load on columns C5 =1200 KN.

Draw a neat sketch showing reinforcement details.

6.b. Explain types of foundations (with neat sketches) that can be provided for following conditions:

i. Black cotton soil up to depth of 10 m.

ii. Foundation of column close to boundary

iii. Multistoried building on soil having low bearing capacity.
