TNPSC 9. (c)

1. (d) BXX/2 = mAst (d-X) ..... (1)

X= critical depth of neutral axis
2. (c)
X = kd
3. (a)
X= (mc/mc+t)d...... (2)
m = 280/3cbc
cbc = 35/3 We have,
m=8 m = 18
C = 50kg/cm2
TRB t = 1400kg/cm2

4. (b) From this by substituting in formula (2) we

get X = 0.39d
Given
m = 18
c at steel level = 6 MPa And then by substituting X in (1) we get
s = mc = 6⨯18 = 108 N/mm2 Ast/bd =pt= 0.696%
5. (c) 10. (a)
Given 11. (d)
B = 250 mm In rectangular beam, shear force is
maximum at supports and minimum in
D = 500 mm
centre.
d = 500 -25 -10 = 465 (approx. to 450mm)
Thus, shear stirrups provided is minimum

A simply supported beam is said to be a
serviceability limit state and to prevent
deep beam if the ratio of effective span to
sudden failure by ensuring sufficient overall depth is 2.
