SECTION-B
2.
A load of 270 kN is applied on a short concrete column 250 mm ? 250 mm. The column
is reinforced with 8 bars of 16 mm diameter. If the modulus of elasticity of steel is 18
times that of concrete, find the stresses in concrete and steel. If the stresses in concrete
shall not exceed 4 N/mm2, find the area of steel required so that the column may support
a load of 400 kN.
3.
The intensity of loading on a simply supported beam of 5 m span increases uniformly
from 8 kN/m from one end to 16 kN/m to the other end. Find the position and magnitude
of the maximum bending moment. Also draw shear force and bending moment diagrams.
4.
Find the width and depth of the strongest beam that can be cut of a cylindrical log of
wood whose diameter is 500 mm.
5.
A hollow cast iron column 5 m long is fixed at both ends and has an external diameter of
300 mm. The column supports an axial load of 1200 kN. Find the internal diameter of the
column, adopting a factor of safety of 5. Take fc = 550 N/mm2 and = 1/1600.
6.
ln a tensile test, a test piece 25 mm in diameter, 200 mm guage length stretched 0.0975
mm under a pull of 50000 N. In a torsion test, the same rod twisted 0.025 radians over a
length of 200 mm, when a torque of 400 Nm was applied. Evaluate the Poisson's ratio
and the three elastic moduli for the material.
SECTION-C
7.
Explain the inter relation between bending moment and shear force in a beam.
8.
A hollow steel shaft 100 mm external diameter and 50 mm internal diameter transmits
600 kW at 500 rpm and is subjected to an end thrust of 45 kN. Find what bending
moment may be safely applied to the shaft if the greater principal stress is not to exceed
90 N/mm2.
9.
Derive an expression to determine critical load on column with one end fixed and other
hinged.
