JW CONSULTANTS LLP Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Designing a footing for a specific load and moment involves calculating the required dimensions and reinforcement.

• Calculate the total load acting on the footing

• Determine the maximum moment at the base of the footing

• Select an appropriate footing type based on the soil conditions and load requirements

• Design the footing dimensions and reinforcement to resist the applied load and moment

• Consider factors such as soil bearing

Design a beam using the lsm method

• Calculate the loads and support reactions on the beam

• Determine the type of beam (e.g. simply supported, cantilever)

• Use the least squares method to analyze the beam's deflection and stress distribution

Explaining the lapping zone of beam and column reinforcement, and the purpose of bent up bars and stirrup hooks in slab and beam respectively.

• The lapping zone of beam rebar at top and bottom is the area where the two bars overlap to provide continuity and strength.

• Bent up bars are provided in slab to resist the shear force and prevent cracking.

• The lapping zone of column reinforcement is the area where the bars overlap ...read more
