Q319- In cantilever beams, the steel bars are placed at
___________
a) Bottom of the beam c) Midspan of the Beam
b) Top of the Beam d) Near supports
Q320- Find the moment of inertia about centroid axis of a
triangular section are having base 100 mm and height 150 mm.

a) 9.21×106mm4
b) 9.45×106mm4
c) 9.37×106 mm4

Q321- The stress corresponding to ______ of strain in the
stress-strain curve of mild steel is known as proof stress.
a) 0.2%
b) 0.32%
c) 0.5%
d) 0.6%
Q322- Calculate the maximum shear force for square beam of
side is 320 mm. If the shear force is 94kN.
a) 1.37N/mm2
b) 2.36N/mm2
c) 5.21N/mm2
d) 4.32N/mm2
Answer: a
Explanation: Maximum shear force is 3/2 × F/a×a ( a = side of
square)
= 3/2 × 94×103/320×320
= 1.3769 N/mm2.
Q323- The failing of a very long column is initially by
___________
a) Crushing
b) Collapsing
c) Buckling
d) Twisting
Q324- What is the allowable stress in cast iron?
a) 3200 N/mm2
b) 2400 N/mm2
c) 3400 N/mm2
d) 5500 N/mm2
Answer: d
Explanation: The allowable stress in cast iron is 5500 N/mm2.
Position Stress (N/mm2) Rankine’s Constant

Mild steel 3200 1/7500

Wrought iron 2500 1/9000

Cast iron 5500 1/1600

Q325- A rectangular beam of 500 mm wide is subjected to

maximum shear force of 250kN, the corresponding maximum
shear stress been 3 N/mm2. The depth of the beam is equal to
______

a) 200mm
b) 250mm
c) 300mm
d) 350mm
solution: The maximum shear force in a rectangular section is
3N/mm2.
In rectangular sections; Maximum shear force = 3/2 ×[F/bd] & 3 =
3/2 ×[250 ×103/ 500 × d] d = 250mm
