Which of the following stress-strain curves are usually used to idealize behavior of concrete?
Correct Answer: Parabolic Curve and Bilinear Curve
In a balanced reinforced beam, the ratio of steel to concrete is in such a way that, strain in both the materials reach maximum simultaneously. Correct Answer: True Limit state method of design is a Correct Answer: Strain controlled approach Which of the following method of designing beam provides sufficient alarming deflection before failure? Correct Answer: Under-reinforced beam Failure mode of an over reinforced beam is ____________ in nature. Correct Answer: Brittle At ultimate moment of resistance, Correct Answer: factored bending moment = resisting moment Usually, maximum strain in concrete is assumed to be, Correct Answer: 0.35 % In a simply supported beam with a point load at mid span, Correct Answer: Bottom fiber is under tension Maximum depth of neutral axis in design of a RC beam is restricted in-order to Correct Answer: avoid brittle failure, to keep the section under-reinforced, Maximum strain in steel is achieved before failure Limiting tensile reinforcement for a section is obtained by equating Compression to Tension. Correct Answer: True Which of the following philosophies are related to design of reinforced concrete structures? Correct Answer: Working stress method.Ultimate load method.Limit state method.Allowable stress design. In working stress method, tensile strength of concrete can be ignored. Correct Answer: True In working stress method, the shape concrete stress block is assumed to be Correct Answer: triangular Creep and shrinkage effects on elastic stresses are ignored in Working stress method Correct Answer: True Ultimate load method is based on Correct Answer: Whitney's theory Depth of rectangular stress block in Whitney's theory is assumed to be = Correct Answer: 0.573d Which of the following capacities are checked under Ultimate limit state ? Correct Answer: Shear strength.Flexural strength.Fatigue strength.Settlement. Which of the following factors are checked under serviceability limit state? Correct Answer: All of the above Working stress method does not give reasonable measure of strength, which is more fundamental measure of resistance than is allowable stress. Correct Answer: True Vibration is checked under ultimate limit state. Correct Answer: False Which of the following loads does not come under long term analysis? Answer Provided: Live load Correct Answer: Live load The ratio of shearing stress to shearing strain within elastic limit, is known as shear modulus of elasticity
For determination of allowable stress in axial compression, Indian Standard Institution
has adopted Secant formula The method of design of steel framework for greatest rigidity and economy in weight, is known as fully rigid design
