Design of Masonry Structures The mode of failure of a very short masonry member having h/t ratio of less than 4 is by Buckling Shear Vertical tensile splitting Any of the above Buckling Shear Vertical tensile splitting Any of the 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.Select your answer according to codes given below: A is true but R is false Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A A is false but R is true A is true but R is false Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A Both A and R is true and R is the correct explanation of A A is false but R is true ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Design of Masonry Structures Consider the following statements:1. Masonry in rich cement mortar though having good strength with high shrinkage is much liable for surface cracks.2. Lime mortar possesses poor workability and poor water retentivity and also suffers high shrinkage.3. Masonry in lime mortar has better resistance against rain penetration and is less liable to crack when compared to masonry in cement mortar.Which of these statements are correct? 2 and 3 1 and 2 1 and 3 1, 2 and 3 2 and 3 1 and 2 1 and 3 1, 2 and 3 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
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. 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 Both 1 and 2 are correct ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
