Question 1
The maximum shear stress in a rectangular beam is --------- times of average
shear stress

A 15

B 1.25

C 1.5

D 1.75

Correct answer

Rectangular Sections.
For a rectangular section at any distance from the Neutral Axis :
 Substituting in equation

and putting

This shows that there is a parabolic variation of Shear Stress with . The
maximum Shear Force occurs at the Neutral Axis and is given by:

If is called the Mean Stress then:

Report

Question 2
Minimum cement content required for M 35 grade of concrete for very severe
exposure condition as per IS 456 -2000 is ------ kg/m3

A 300

B 320

C 340

D 360

Correct answer

As per IS 456: 2000

Report

Question 3
Permissible deviation from specified dimensions of cross-section of Column &
Beams as per IS Standards is ------- mm

+10 mm
A
- 4 mm

+12 mm
B
- 6 mm

+14 mm
C
- 8 mm

D None

Correct answer

As per IS 456: 2000

Deviation from specified +12 dimensions of cross-section - 6 of columns
and beams.

Report
Question 4
A concrete beam is post-tensioned by a cable carrying an initial stress of 1000
N/mm2. The slip at the jacking end was observed to be 6 mm. The modulus of
elasticity of steel is 210 kN/mm2. The percentage loss of stress due to
anchorage slip, if the length of beam is 30 m, is ______%.

A 4.2

B 4.4

C 4.0

D 4.5

Oops! Wrong answer!

Loss of stress due to anchorage slip

For a 30 m long beam, loss of stress

Percentage loss of stress

Report

Question 5
A continuous RC beam spans six span segments, each supporting a
monolithic reinforced concrete slab. The beam will best be designed

A as a rectangular one throughout its span.

B as a tee-beam throughout its span.

as a rectangular beam for span moments and tee-beam for

C
support moments.
 as a tee-beam for span moments and as a rectangular beam for
D
support moments.

Correct answer

At the support location, the beam should be designed as rectangular beam

because at supports there will be hogging moment i.e. tension will be on
top and compression on the bottom side.
As concrete is weak in tension, so it will crack and we have, thus, no
advantage of designing the beam as tee-section at supports.
And for span moments design the beam as tee beam because of
monolithic reinforced concrete slab, some part of slab will act as flange
for beam at each of six span segments.

Report

Question 6
An RC square footing of side length 2 m and uniform effective depth 200 mm
is provided for a 300 mm 300 mm column. The line of action of the vertical
compressive load passes through the centroid of the footing as well as of the
column. If the magnitude of the working load (including self weight of footing)
is 320 kN, the nominal (one way) shear stress (in N/mm2) in the footing, using
LSM, is

A 0.25

B 0.32

C 0.39

D 0.75

Oops! Wrong answer!

 Nominal (one way) shear stress,

Magnitude of the load = 320 kN

Intensity of the soil pressure
Critical section lies at a distance of 200 mm from the face of the column
Shear force at critical section,
Vu = 1.5 80 0.650 2 = 156 kN

Report

Question 7
The reduction coefficient of a reinforced column with an effective length of 6
m and size 400 mm 450 mm is

A 0.83

B 0.94

C 0.97

D 0.99

Correct answer

Reduction coefficient,
whichever is smaller
Report

Question 8
A beam is built using M25 concrete and HYSD bars. In limit state design, the
development length, Ld, in terms of diameter of reinforcement, for
compression zone is _______.
[Take Yield strength of HYSD bar = 415 MPa and Bond strength with plain bar
(bd) = 1.4 N/mm2]

A 32.236

B 33.524

C 34.793

D 35.450

Oops! Wrong answer!

Report

Question 9
The permissible value of span/depth ratio will be the highest in the case of

A a simply supported beam

B a cantilever beam
 C a continuous beam

D it will be same for all cases

Oops! Wrong answer!

As per IS 456: 2000

Report

Question 10
Creep Strain is

A caused due to live load only

B caused due to cyclic load only

C caused due to dead load only

D Independent of load

Oops! Wrong answer!

If the applied loads are close to the service loads, the creep strain
 increases at a decreasing rate with time.
It can be observed that if the structure is loaded at 7 days, the creep
coefficient is 2.2. This means that the creep strain is 2.2 times the elastic
strain.
