Design of Masonry Structures A 200 mm thick brick masonry wall made of modular bricks carries an axial load of 30 kN/m from wall above and an eccentric load of 20 kN/m from RCC floor acting at a distance of 47.5 mm from the centre line of the wall. The resultant eccentricity ratio is 0.095 0.105 0.09 0.1 0.095 0.105 0.09 0.1 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Design of Masonry Structures Consider the following statements: The use of relatively weak mortar 1. Will accommodate movements due to loads and, cracking if any, and will be distributed as thin hair cracks which are less noticeable or harmful. 2. Will result in reduction of stresses due to differential expansion of masonry units. Both 1 and 2 are correct 1 alone is correct 2 alone is correct Neither 1 nor 2 is correct Both 1 and 2 are correct 1 alone is correct 2 alone is correct Neither 1 nor 2 is correct ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
