Modulus of elasticity of steel as per IS : 456-1978 shall be taken as
A. 20 kN/cm2
B. 200 kN/cm2
C. 200 kN/mm2
D. 250 kN/mm2
Answer: Option C
In symmetrically reinforced sections, shrinkage stresses in concrete and steel are respectively
A. Compressive and tensile
B. Tensile and compressive
C. Both compressive
D. Both tensile
Critical section for shear in case of flat slabs is (adopting standard notations)
A. At a distance of effective depth of slab from periphery of column/drop panel
B. At a distance of $$\frac{{\text{d}}}{2}$$ from periphery of column/capital/drop panel
C. At the drop panel of slab
D. At the periphery of column
A. depends on as, only
B. depends on aCbC only
C. depends on both crst and acbc
D. is independant of both ast and acbc where d is the effective depth, ast is per-missible stress in steel in tension and ocbc is permissible stress in concrete in bending compression.
The diameter of ties in a column should be
A. More than or equal to one fourth of diameter of main bar
B. More than or equal to 5 mm
C. More than 5 mm but less than one-fourth of diameter of main bar
D. More than 5 mm and also more than one-fourth of diameter of main bar
