    For effective depth = 500mm and width = 300mm, find the limiting moment of resistance of beam (kNm): (f­ck = 20 and fy = 415) 

    • 235.5

    • 210.55

    • 211.9

    • 206.95

    Correct Answer
    A. 206.95
    Explanation
    The limiting moment of resistance of a beam can be calculated using the formula:

    Mlim = (0.87 * fy * Ast * (d - a/2))/1000

    Where:
    Mlim = Limiting moment of resistance
    fy = Yield strength of steel
    Ast = Area of tension steel reinforcement
    d = Effective depth of the beam
    a = Depth of the compression block

    Given:
    Effective depth (d) = 500 mm
    Width = 300 mm
    fck = 20 MPa
    fy = 415 MPa

    To calculate the limiting moment of resistance, we need to determine the area of tension steel reinforcement (Ast) and the depth of the compression block (a). However, these values are not provided in the question. Therefore, an explanation cannot be generated.

    Assumption that plane section remain plane before and after bending implies:

    • Tensile strength of concrete is neglected

    • No shear deformation

    • Area of steel is taken to be constant

    • Steel fails in yielding

    Correct Answer
    A. No shear deformation
    Explanation
    The assumption that plane sections remain plane before and after bending implies that there is no shear deformation. In other words, it assumes that the concrete does not experience any sliding or shearing along the plane section when it is subjected to bending forces. This assumption is commonly made in the analysis of beams and other structural elements, simplifying the calculations and allowing for easier determination of the bending moments and stresses. However, it should be noted that in reality, there can be some degree of shear deformation, especially in cases where the bending forces are significant.

    The target mean strength of concrete mix is given by

    • Ft = fck + KS

    • Ft = fck + S

    • Ft = fck + K

    • Ft = fck

    Correct Answer
    A. Ft = fck + KS
    Explanation
    The correct answer is ft = fck + KS. This equation represents the target mean strength of a concrete mix. "ft" represents the target mean strength, "fck" represents the characteristic strength of concrete, "K" represents a constant, and "S" represents the standard deviation of the concrete mix. By adding the product of the constant "K" and the standard deviation "S" to the characteristic strength "fck," we can calculate the target mean strength "ft" of the concrete mix.

    Psychological widening given by

    • V/(5.5√R)

    • V/9.5R

    • V/9.5R

    • V/(9.5√R)

    Correct Answer
    A. V/(9.5√R)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is V/(9.5√R). This formula represents the concept of psychological widening. The variable V represents the value or importance of a decision or event, while R represents the level of risk involved. By dividing V by 9.5 times the square root of R, the formula accounts for both the value and the risk, resulting in a measure of psychological widening. This suggests that as the value or risk increases, the psychological widening also increases.

    Calculate SSD for design speed 80 kmph, Gradient = -2% reaction time= 2.5 sec and coefficient of friction = 0.35

    • 132

    • 130

    • 129

    • 126

    Correct Answer
    A. 132
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 132. The stopping sight distance (SSD) is the distance needed for a vehicle to come to a complete stop after the driver perceives a hazard and reacts to it. It is calculated by adding the perception-reaction distance and the braking distance. In this case, the design speed is 80 kmph, the gradient is -2%, the reaction time is 2.5 seconds, and the coefficient of friction is 0.35. By using the appropriate formulas and calculations, the SSD is determined to be 132 meters.

    • 500fck

    • 5000fck

    Correct Answer
    A. 5000√(fck )
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 5000√(fck). According to IS 456:2000, the modulus of elasticity of concrete is given by the formula 5000√(fck), where fck is the characteristic compressive strength of concrete in N/mm2. This formula represents the relationship between the modulus of elasticity and the compressive strength of concrete, indicating that as the compressive strength increases, the modulus of elasticity also increases.

    Permissible load on column according to IS 456:2000, for minimum eccentricity < 0.05 times lateral dimension, is given by

    • 0.447fckAc + 0.67fyAsc

    • 0.65fckAc + 0.67fyAsc

    • 0.4fckAc + 0.75fyAsc

    • 0.4fckAc + 0.67fyAsc

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.4fckAc + 0.67fyAsc
    Explanation
    The permissible load on a column according to IS 456:2000, for minimum eccentricity < 0.05 times lateral dimension, is given by 0.4fckAc + 0.67fyAsc. This equation takes into account the compressive strength of concrete (fck), the cross-sectional area of the column (Ac), the yield strength of steel reinforcement (fy), and the cross-sectional area of the steel reinforcement (Asc). The coefficients 0.4 and 0.67 are used to account for the different contributions of concrete and steel to the load-carrying capacity of the column.

    As per IS 456:2000, a simply supported beam is considered as a deep beam when

    • Depth of beam > 750

    • Span to depth ratio < 2.5

    • Span to depth ratio < 2.0

    • Doesn’t depend on above parameter

    Correct Answer
    A. Span to depth ratio < 2.0
    Explanation
    A simply supported beam is considered as a deep beam when the span to depth ratio is less than 2.0. This means that the span of the beam is relatively small compared to its depth. Deep beams are designed differently from regular beams because they experience higher shear and flexural stresses. Therefore, a span to depth ratio of less than 2.0 is an important criterion to identify a simply supported beam as a deep beam according to IS 456:2000.

    The process of removing concete form works

    • Stripping

    • clearing

    • Deforming work

    • Screeding

    Correct Answer
    A. Stripping
    Explanation
    Stripping refers to the process of removing the formwork or molds that were used to shape and support the concrete during its curing process. This is typically done once the concrete has hardened and gained enough strength to support itself. Stripping allows for the reuse of the formwork for future projects and also exposes the finished concrete surface. The other options, clearing, deforming work, and screeding, do not accurately describe the process of removing formwork from concrete.

    Curing Period X Temperature = .......

    • Shrinkage coefficient

    • Maturity

    • Temperature loss

    • Surface heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Maturity
    Explanation
    The curing period is the time required for a material to reach its desired strength and durability. Temperature plays a crucial role in this process as it affects the rate of chemical reactions and the development of the material's properties. Maturity refers to the cumulative effect of time and temperature on the curing process. By measuring the temperature over time, the maturity of the material can be determined, which provides a reliable indicator of its strength and performance. Therefore, the equation "Curing Period X Temperature = Maturity" implies that the combination of time and temperature influences the maturity of the material during the curing process.
