ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS
1 Define stress.
A circular rod 1m long and 15 mm diameter is subjected to an axial tensile load of
2 30 kN. Find the elongation of the rod if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
the rod is 120 kN/mm2.
3 State Hooke’s law.
4 Sketch a composite bar.
5 Define Factor of Safety.
PART – B (1× 15= 15 Marks)
6. A reinforced concrete column 500 mm x 500 mm in section is reinforced with 4 steel
bars of 25 mm diameter; one in each corner, the column is carrying a load of 1000 kN.
Find the stresses in the concrete and steel bars.
Take Esteel = 210x103N/mm2 and ECon = 14x103N/mm2.
