SECTION-B
2.
Describe ellipse of stress with suitable example.
3.
A timber beam 16 cm wide and 20 cm deep is to be reinforced by bolting on two steel
flitches each 16 cm ? 1 cm in section. Find the moment of resistance when : (a) the flitches
are attached symmetrically at the top and bottom and (b) the flitches are attached
symmetrically at the sides. Allowable stress in timber is 6 MN/m2. What is the maximum
stress in steel in each case? Take ESteel = 20 EWood.
4.
Explain any two theories of failure.
5.
A bar of length 4 m when used as a simply supported beam and subjected to uniformly
distributed load of 30 kN/m over the whole span, deflects 15 mm at the centre. Determine
the crippling load when it is used as a column with following end conditions :
(a) both ends pin-jointed, and (b) one end fixed and other end hinged.
6.
A beam of length 1 is simply supported and a point load W is acting at its mid span. Use
double integration method to find slope and deflection at end points and mid point.
SECTION-C
7.
A point is subjected to perpendicular stresses of 50 MN/m2, both tensile. Using analytical
method calculate the normal, tangential and resultant stresses and its obliquity on a plane
making an angle of 30 degrees with the axis of second stress. Verify results with Mohr's
circle of stress method also.
8.
A hollow circular shaft 20 mm thick transmits 294 kW at 200 rpm. Determine the
diameters of the shaft if shear strain due to torsion is not to exceed 8.6 ? 10?4. Take
modulus of rigidity as 80 GN/m2.
9.
An overhanging beam ABC is simply supported at A and B over a span of 6 m and BC
overhangs by 3 m. If the supported span AB carries central concentrated load of 8 kN and
overhanging span BC carries uniformly distributed load of 2 kN/m. Drawn shearing force
and bending moment diagrams indicating salient points.
NOTE: Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
