MADE EASY team has made deep study of previous exam papers and observed that a good percentage of questions are of repetitive in nature, therefore previous years papers are advisable to solve before a candidate takes the exam, This books also useful for MP State B. Singh (& IES) Engineering Services, UPSC Engineering Services and other Competitive exams for Engineering graduates. ‘The current edition of this book contains complete solutions to all questions with accuracy. | have true desire to serve stueent community by providing good source of study and quality guidance. | hope this book wl be proved an important. tool to succeed in UPPSC and other competitive exams.

() Web shear cracks (i) Flexure shear cracks. \Web shear cracks generally star's from an interior point, when the local principal tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of concrete. They are likely o develop in highly prestressed beams with thin webs. Floxure shear cracks are first initiated by flexural cracks in the inclined direction due to combined shear and flexural tensile stresses producing principal tensile stress that exceeds the tensile strength of concrete. In members without shear reinforcement, the inclined shear cracks extend to the compression face resulting in sudden explosive failures. This is sometimes referred to as the diagonal tensile mode of failure. (a) For deformed bars, the bond stress shall be increased by 60% of the values for plain bars in tension. For bars in compression, the values of bond sttess for bars in tension shallbe increased by 25% () In IS 486 : 1978, the clear covers are specified as (Fora longitudinal reinforcing bar ina column, not less than 40 mm, orless than the diameter fof such bar, (i).

The clear cover should not exceed 75 mmin any According to I$ 456 : 2000 nominal cover shall note less than the diameter of bar.

For longitudinal einforcing bars the nominal cover shall not be less than 40 mm For footings minimum cover shall be 50 mm, (a Modulus of elasticity of concrete is dependent on its compressive strength. Higher WIC ratio, shorter curing period or lesser vibration will produce concrete oflesser compressive strength With increase in age compressive strength increases and therefore modulus of elasticity of concrete increases, (b) ‘The effective length of fillet weld is taken equal to its overall length minus twice the weld size. ‘The deduction is made to allow for craters to be formed at the ends of the welded length.
