SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Strain in HYSD bars (fe415)
=0.002+0.87fy/Es
=0.002+(0.87×415)/(2×10^5 )⇒0.0038
Strain in mild steel = (0.87×fy)/Es
=(0.87×250)/(2×105)=0.00108
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
According to IS. Code stress strain curve is parabola up to 0.002 then straight line
Up to failure.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. factor of safety of steel ⇒1.15
Factor of safety of concrete ⇒ 1.5
→ Due to variability in strength of concrete due to poor quality control, poor work
man ship etc, higher factor of safety is given for concrete in comparison to steel.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. According to Whitney’s theory, ultimate strain of concrete is 0.003 (0.3%)
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. maximum strain in tension reinforcement
Steel grade Strain
Fe-250 0.87fy/Es
Fe-415 0.002+0.87fy/Es
Fe-500 0.002 + 0.87fy/Es
For HYSD bar’s maximum strain in tension Reinforcement
=▭(0.002+0.87fy/Es )
Or
=▭(0.002+fy/(1.15 Es ))
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. flexure collapse in over reinforced beams is due to primary compression failure.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Equivalent area of reinforced cement concrete
▭(A=Ac+m.Asc)
Ac→Area of concrete
Asc→ Area of steel
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. → Minimum reinforcement provided in beam to avoid any possibility of sudden
failure due to over loading.
→ Maximum reinforcement is restricted because it result in congession effect proper
compaction & placement of concrete.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. modular ratio (m) =280/3σcbc
▭(σcbc=p)
M=280/3p
▭(m=93/p)
S10. Ans.(c) → The strength of concrete in fatigue is negligible.
→ Strength of concrete in tension is 10 to 15% of compressive strength.
