4. Discuss all the conditions of stability of masonry retaining walls. Derive the middle third
rule of stability of retaining wall. 10
5. Find the stability of a retaining wall with top width as 1m, bottom width 3m and height
6m retaining earth fill on vertical face. Also find the extreme stresses at the base of the
wall taking the densities of soil retained and masonry as 16kN/m
3
and 22kN/m
3
respectively. Assume angle of internal friction as 30?. 10
6. Design a brick pier section to carry an axial load of 200 kN. The width of the pier is
restricted to 1
1/2
normal brick. The brickwork is in 1:3 cement mortar using 1
st
class
bricks (nominal) with crushing strength 10 MPa. The pier is 3.53 meter high with both
ends fixed. Also, calculate the load carrying capacity of the same pier if load is 10mm
eccentric. 10
7. a. Discuss Timber beams in detail. 5
b. Explain various checks applied in case of design of timber beams. 5
8. Design a simply supported beam of deodar wood carrying a u.d.l. of 15 kN/m inclusive of
its self wt. The clear span of beam is 4.0 m (supported on walls of 230mm thickness).
Apply all checks. Given data: Allowable permissible bending stress =
10.2 N/mm
2
.Allowable shear stress = 0.8N/mm
2
. E = 10000N/mm
2
. 10
9. a. Draw a labeled sketch of a truss showing all the members clearly. 5
b. What are the different loads applied on roof truss? How these loads are calculated? 5
