Question 1

A fixed beam of span 3 m is loaded with a uniformly distributed load throughout the length. The percentage increase in the deflection at the mid span if the ends are simply supported is

Question 2

In a Newmark’s chart for stress distribution, there are 10 concentric circle and 20 radial lines. If intensity of load is 380 kN/and vertical stress is 30 kN/ then calculate equivalent number of areas in influence chart.

Question 3

The vertical deflection of the middle hinge of the given beam is:


Question 4

Statement (I): In coarse grained soil secondary consolidation is insignificant.

Statement (II): Secondary consolidation takes place due to plastic readjustment of soil molecules.

Question 5

A hollow alloy tube 5m long with diameters 40 mm (outer) and 25 mm (inner) was found to extend 6.4 mm under a tensile load of 60 kN. The column has pinned ends. The factor of safety is 4 . The safe load on column based on Euler’s theory is -

Question 6

The value of r/z for which Boussinesq's and Westergaard’s theories given same result is?

Question 7

Assertion (A): Mohr’s circle of stress can be related to Mohr’s circle of strain by some constant of proportionality.

Reasoning (R): The relationship is a function of yield stress of the material.

Question 8

Assertion (A): In non-cohesive soils, settlement occurs immediately after application of load.
Reason (R): The settlement is attributed to volume changes caused by lateral yielding or shear strains occurring in the soil.

Question 9

Find out the moment required to be applied at end B to make the slope zero at this end.

Question 10

The time taken by the soil to reach ultimate settlement depends upon:

(i) Thickness of the layer

(ii) Drainage conditions

(iii) Void ratio of soil

(iv) Coefficient of consolidation
