STRUCTURE FOR ARCHITECTS :
1. Write notes on any one of the following and explain with the help of sketches :
a) Shell structures used in architecture,
b) Bamboo Structure used in architecture. 25
2. a) Write short notes on the following :
i) “TMT” bars used in RCC structures nowadays.
ii) Cube test of concrete. 5+5
b) i) Mention the commonly used standard diameters of steel reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete up to dia 25 mm. 4
ii) Find out, in a short-cut way, the values in kg/m of all standard diameters of reinforcing steels that you have mentioned above (assume that the weight of 18 mm dia. reinforcing steel is 2.0 kg/m).
iii) What should be the cover for reinforcements in RCC works in slabs, beams, columns and foundations? 4

i) What are Magnitude and Intensity of Earthquake?
ii) How Architectural Features Affect during earthquake?
iii) How to make building ductile for Good seismic performance?
5. a) Give tentative figures and charts (in tabular forms only) that are normally used in common RCC drawings for (G+4) residential apartment buildings of middleincome groups showing (i) tables for (i) beams, (ii) columns and (iii) strip foundation (for commonly found Kolkata soil)
(Note : As calculations are not used, only tentative representation is required giving apparently viable values). 25

Time : Three Hours
Full Marks : 100
Answer for 100 marks.
1. The base of an isosceles triangle lying in spoke is perpendicular to the vertical plane and parallel to H.P. The nearer point is at a distance of 3 cm from V.P. The apex now makes an angle of 45° with H.P. The base is 4 cm long and the sides are 10 cm long. Draw the projections. 15
2. A circular plane of diameter 10 cm. is placed at a distance of 3 cm above HP. and parallel to AP. The plane now makes an angle of 45° w.r.t HP, the position of the opposite point remaining save. Draw the projections 15
3. Draw the axonometric/isometric view of the following : 15
A cube (6 cm × 6 cm × 6 cm) is placed on a square base (10 cm × 10 cm × 2 cm) diagonally and centrally. A hexagonal pyramid of side 1 cm abd height 3 cm is placed in an invested manner centrally on the cube. 25
4. A rectangular block of size (4 cm(w) × 6 cm(l) × 12 cm(h) is attached to another rectangular block of size 12 cm(w) × 4 cm(l) and 6 cm(h) by its shorter side forming a l shaped pattern in plan. Another triangular block of size 4 cm × 4 cm × 4 cm is attached to the bigger block on its shorted side, keeping the slanting face on top.
