A raft foundation is provided if its area exceeds the plan area of the building by 50 % 10 % 40 % 20 % TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
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 35 40 30 45 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
If W is total load per unit area on a panel, D is the diameter of the column head, L is the span in two directions, then the sum of the maximum positive bending moment and average of the negative bending moment for the design of the span of a square flat slab, should not be less than WL/12 (L - 2D/3)² WL/12 (L - D/3)² WL/10 (L + 2D/3)² WL/10 (L - 2D/3)² TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The floor slab of a building is supported on reinforced cement floor beams. The ratio of the end and intermediate spans is kept 0.9 0.2 0.8 0.7 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The thickness of the topping of a ribbed slab, varies between 5 cm to 8 cm 3 cm to 5 cm 12 cm to 15 cm 8 cm to 10 cm TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
‘P’ is the pre-stressed force applied to the tendon of a rectangular pre-stressed beam whose area of cross section is ‘A’ and sectional modulus is ‘Z’. The maximum stress ‘f’ in the beam, subjected to a maximum bending moment ‘M’, is f = (P/'+ (Z/M) f = (P/A) + (M/6Z) f = (A/P) + (M/Z) f = (P/A) + (M/Z) TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The load stress of a section can be reduced by Replacing larger bars by greater number of small bars Increasing the total perimeter of bars Decreasing the lever arm Replacing smaller bars by greater number of greater bars TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
If the sides of a slab simply supported on edges and spanning in two directions are equal, the maximum bending moment is multiplied by 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.7 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
