Introduction
The report is generated on the basis of the assessment of the concrete and steel structure for
estimating shear force as well as reinforced beams and columns bending moment. The study will
address the procedure for estimating shear force and bending column moment as well as the
bending moment manufactured as well as the schematic of shear force. The study will emphasize
the fundamental notion of shear force as well as bending moment, deflection in the simply
supported beams, and the concept of estimating steel axial load as well as concrete structures.
The report will also discuss the concept of the effective length of the column as well as the
concept of slenderness ratio.

a) Given,
Beam Span: 14 m
Point Load: 150 KN (at midpoint)
To determine:
Beam arrangement, support reactions, SFD and BMD (Thouless, 2018)
Solution:

RA 14 m RC
Support Reactions
Considering moment about A
Ra+Rb = 150 kN
 -Rb x 14 +150 x 7 = 0
 Rb = 75 kN
Putting the value of Rb ion the equation we get,
 Ra = 75 kN
 Therefore the required support reactions are Ra = 75 kN and Rb = 75 kN.

Shear Force Between A to C
F = 75
 A x=0
SFa = 75 kN
 For c, put x equal to 7
SFc = 75 kN
Now, Shear force between C to B
Ra = 150 KN
 For C x equals to 0
7Fc = 150-75= 75 kN
For B
 SFb = 150 - 75 = - 75
 SFb = -75 kN

At Point A, X = 0
 MA = 0
At point C, X = L/ 2

 Mc = 150/ 2 * 14/ 2
 Mc = 525 KN
For Section between point C and B
 MX = RA x X – {W * (x-L/2) }
 MX = 525 KN

The structural safety of the construction designs are the combination of SCOSS as well as
CROSS activities that involve working with professions, government as well as industry, that is
based on the matters related to the safety of the construction designs, the utilization of the
structures in civil engineering and buildings as well as construction. It is important that the
buildings are designed such that it can easily withstand all the probable loading as well as it
operates throughout the building life.
Appropriate design codes are to be used to ensure the safety of the building structures that are
based on sound engineering as well as the appropriate code of design and purpose based. The
general considerations that are required for safe structural designs include:
Flooding, wind loading, snow loading that are considered for extreme weather.
Fire for the places that contain flammable substances.
Seismic activities
Ventilation for dealing with the releases.
Emergency egress as well as ingress.
Thermal expansion
Load that is from the dropping of heavy equipment as well as vehicular impact.
The effect of corrosion that results from the changes in the atmospheric conditions.
The structural building design for withstanding the natural events: The structural designing of the
building should be according to the building code BS 6399 that is for withstanding the extreme
weather conditions along with imposed load as well as wind loads.BS 8100 is another code that
is to be followed during the structural designing of lattice tower as well as the manual for shore
protection as well as masts. Appropriate calculation of all the loadings of the building is required
by the buildings as well as structures that are standard. For ensuring safety from an earthquake
while designing the structure of the building structural analysis is carried out on this perspective
according to which the foundation of the building is decided. (Li, et. al., 2015)
Structural designing against fire protection as well as an explosion: Fire, as well as explosion
protection, are also to be considered while the structural designing of the building. In the case of

fire protection of the buildings during the structural designing of the structure of the building
dynamic analysis of the structure is generally considered for analyzing the static forces.
Maintenance of the structure or the building, as well as the spillage and the drainage, is also
considered during the designing of the building with a specified code for each and every
structural components of the building that includes separate code for the still, concrete,
brickwork and other building components.

Live Load- Live load is also called imposed load and it consist of weights of human, machines
and other. (Wahid, 2015)
Dead Load- It consists of the weights of the vehicles and not including the weight of goods &
passengers.
