YOUR ANSWER : ?
A 200 mm thick wall made of modular bricks is 5 m long between cross walls and 3.8 m clear height between RCC slabs at top and bottom. The slenderness ratio of the wall is
YOUR ANSWER : ?
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
YOUR ANSWER : ?
The basic stress in masonry units having height to width ratio of 1.5 may be increased by a factor of
YOUR ANSWER : ?
Consider the following statements: The use of relatively weak mortar<br/>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.<br/>2. Will result in reduction of stresses due to differential expansion of masonry units.
YOUR ANSWER : ?
For strengthening a 50 m long and 5 m high straight compound wall built in brick work, which one of the following would be most suitable?
YOUR ANSWER : ?
Assertion A : From consideration of structural soundness and economy of design, most codes control the maximum slenderness ratio of masonry walls and columns.Reason R : By controlling the maximum slenderness ratio, failure is by excessive stress and not by buckling. Select your answer according to codes given below:
YOUR ANSWER : ?
Where a structural component or a system is providing lateral support to five or more walls or columns, the lateral load to be resisted may be taken as __________ of the total vertical load on the most heavily loaded wall or column in the group
