Questions (page 2)

Q1.

(ii) Calculate the total elongation of a prismatic bar of length l and cross sectional area 'A' which hangs vertically under its own weight.

(iii) Analyze the continuous beam shown in Fig. 1 (iii) by Moment Distribution Method and find the Moment at various points A, B and C.
Fig. 1 (iii)

(iv) Find the centroid of a 120 mm x 150 mm x 20 mm T section.

(v) State the Muller Breslau principle and its applications.

Q2.

(i) What is rapid hardening cement ? What is its significance ? How does it differ from ordinary Portland cement ?

(ii) Find the deflection at free end of a cantilever beam of length l, loaded with triangular load, w per unit length at fixed end and zero at free end.

(iii) A solid shaft of aluminum of length 1.5 m and of 60 mm diameter is to be replaced by a tabular steel shaft of the same length and the same outside diameter, such that each of two shafts have the same angle of twist per unit torsional moment over the total length. Determine the inner diameter of the tubular steel shaft, if the modulus of rigidity of steel is three times that of aluminum.

Q3.

(i) Explain various ingredients of brick earth work and state different types of bricks as per Indian Standard code ?

(ii) A timber beam of rectangular section is to support a load of 25 kN (uniformly distributed) over a span of 4 m. If the depth of the section is to be twice the breadth, and the stress in the timber is not to exceed 50 N/mm^2, find the dimensions of the cross section.
How the cross-section of the beam would be modify if it were a concentrated load placed at the centre with the same ratio of breadth to depth.
