A reinforced concrete cantilever beam is 3.6 m long, 25 cm wide and has its lever arm 40 cm. It carries a load of 1200 kg at its free end and vertical stirrups can carry 1800 kg. Assuming concrete to carry one-third of the diagonal tension and ignoring the weight of the beam, the number of shear stirrups required, is 45 35 30 40 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
An R.C.C. beam of 25 cm width and 50 cm effective depth has a clear span of 6 meters and carries a U.D.L. of 3000 kg/m inclusive of its self weight. If the lever arm constant for the section is 0.865, the maximum intensity of shear stress, is 21.5 kg/cm² 21.5 kg/cm² 8.3 kg/cm² 7.6 kg/cm² TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?

If the maximum bending moment of a simply supported slab is M Kg.cm, the effective depth of the slab is (where Q is M.R. factor) M/100Q √(M/100Q) √(M/Q) M/10√Q TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
According to I.S. : 456, slabs which span in two directions with corners held down, are assumed to be divided in each direction into middle strips and edge strips such that the width of the middle strip, is Two-third of the width of the slab Three-fourth of the width of the slab Four-fifth of the width of the slab Half of the width of the slab TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
