a) An industrial building is to be provided with a hand operated 50 kN crane facility. The details of the building and the gantry girders are:
Longitudinal spacing of columns = 6m, Centre to centre distance of gantry girders = 12m, Wheel spacing = 3m, Edge distance = 1m, Weight of crane girder = 40 kN, Weight of trolley car = 10 kN. Design the gantry girder for bending and shear.
b) Design a RCC corbel to carry a factored load of 500 kN at a distance 200 mm from the face of a 300 x 300 RCC Column. Use M35 concrete and Fe 415 steel.

13.What is a Nib and under what circumstances would you use them? Sketch the reinforcement details in Nibs with a) Light loads b) Large loads.
