Design of Masonry Structures Consider the following statements: The use of relatively weak mortar1. 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. 2 alone is correct Both 1 and 2 are correct 1 alone is correct Neither 1 nor 2 is correct 2 alone is correct Both 1 and 2 are correct 1 alone is correct Neither 1 nor 2 is correct ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP

Design of Masonry Structures Rich cement mortars are more liable to cracking as compared to lean mortars because rich mortars have High shrinkage Less strength Both (A) and (B) None of above High shrinkage Less strength Both (A) and (B) None of above ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Design of Masonry Structures 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.
