1. Ans : (1)
To safegaurd against excessive shrinkage, the code prescribes that the cement content in the
mix should preferably not exceed 450 kg/m3.

2. Ans : (2)
In the Lee-McCall system, the tendons comprise high-tensile bars of diameter varying from
12-40 mm which are threaded at the ends. After tensioning, each bar is anchored by screwing
a nut and washer tightly against the end plates. In this system, the forces are transmitted by
the bearing at the end blocks: While the system eliminates the loss of stress due to anchorage
slip, it has a disadvantage in that curved tendons cannot be used. Figure shows the typical
Lee-McCall anchorage system.

- The total shrinkage of concrete depends upon the constituents of concrete, size of the member and
environmental condition.
- For a given humidity and temperature, the total shinkage of concrete is most influenced by the total
amount of water present in the concrete at the time of mixing and, to a lesser content, by the cement
content.

A gantry girder section is subjected to vertical loads and horizontal thrust simultaneously.
Therefore, the allowable stresses are increased by 10%. This increase in the allowable stress
is not in addition to that allowed for erection loads with or without wind or seismic forces.

17. Ans : (3)

Tacking or stitch bolts are used to make the sections act in unison, and to prevent buckling in
compression members, when two or more sections are in contact. When the distance between
the centres or two consecutive bolts in such cases exceeds the maximum specified pitch of
12t or 200 mm, whichever is less in compression members; and 16t or 200 mm, whichever is
less in tension members additional bolts are provided. These bolts are not subjected to calculated
stresses and are called tacking or stitch bolts.

18. Ans : (3)

Fatigue life of welded steel structure is less than riveted/bolted structure, so their ratio is less
than 1.

19. Ans : (3)

Since the steel beam is connected to a steel column by means of two angles placed on the two
sides of the web of the beam as shown in figure below, therefore it is torsionally restraint and
is called as a framed connection.
The above connection is not a rigid type. In this type of connection, the warping restraint is
absent.

When stiffeners are provided, the panel aspect ratio c/d may be chosen in the range of 1.2 to 1.6.
When end panel is designed near support, without using the tension field action, the aspect
ratio should be in the range 0.6  1.0.

22. Ans : (3)

The main purpose of the anchor bolt is to hold down the column by transferring tensile loads
to the corresponding foundation. These loads may appear in form of pure tension or tension
in one side of the column caused by a bending moment.
So the purpose of anchor bolts in column base is To resist tension force & To keep the column
in place.

Annealing Effect : It is the process in which material is heated to such extent that their
physical and chemical property gets modified.

Bauschinger Effect (strain softening) :
It refers to property of materials where the materials stress or strain characteristics changes as
a result of the microscopic stress distribution of the material. Hence, an increase in tensile
yield strength occurs at the expense of compressive yield strength.

35. Ans : (1)

Igneous Rocks also known as primary, unstratified or eruptive rocks are of volcanic origin
and are formed as a result of solidification of molten mass lying below or above the earth’s
surface. The inner layers of the earth are at a very high termperature causing the masses of
silicates to melt. This molten mass called magma is forced up as volcanic eruptions and
spreads over the surface of earth where it solidifies forming basalt and trap. These are known
as effusive rocks.

- Crack width is limiting criteria in the design of water retaining structure.
- Generally, the concrete structures are designed to the maximum crack width of 0.3 mm.
- However, the concrete itself can filled the crack developed through the process called self healing up
to 0.2 mm crack width, so that concrete will becomes water tight within few days while exposed to
water.
- Therefore, in case of water retaining structures the maximum crack width is limited to 0.2 mm to
achieve the water tightness by self healing or 0.1 mm if the appearance is the matter in design procedure.

1) Prevention cost is the preactive approach to prevent the defect from occuring at all. It is
always betters to spend more cost on prevention of defects.
2) Appraisal cost is the cost associated with detecting the defects through Inspection & Testing.
3) Internal Failure cost is the cost associated with detecting the defects that is not reached the
customer i.e. defect which is found internally in the company & Can be corrected.
4) External failuse cost is the cost associated with defects that reached to the customer which
affects company reputation.

Stiffness (k) is defined as the force per unit deflection.
K = P/
 = P/K
If the stiffness matrix is doubled
i.e. K’ = 2K
then,
= P/K’
= P/2K
 = (1/2)P/K
 = /2
Therefore, If the stiffness matrix is doubled with respect to the existing stiffness matrix, the
deflection of the resutlting frame will be half the existing value.

Numerical techniques more commonly involve an iteration method due to the degree of
accuracy involved. This is because iterations reduce the approximation errors which may
occur in numerical problems. They perform sequential operations which in turn increase the
accuracy.
