Instructions: 1) All questions are compulsory 2) Overwriting is not allowed. Use backside of the paper for
calculations, if any. 3) In all MCQs, only one option is correct; so tick the most suitable answer
Q1 The factored axial load on a column is 2570 kN. Assuming W’ = 0.15W (terms have their usual meaning), the
plan area required for the footing on a soil of SBC 165 kN/m2 is _______________ (1)

Q2 Define bond stress? (1)

Q3 A beam carries a factored SF of 380 kN and a factored torsional moment of 85 kNm. The beam has a cross-section
of 450 x 600 mm (effective cover = 60 mm). Using M20 concrete, is it required to revise beam dimensions? τc,max =
2.78 MPa. No marks without showing calculations (1)

Q4 The factor of safety on reinforcing steel in Working stress method is _______________ (1)

Q5 A circular column of 500 mm overall dia and effective cover to bars 90 mm uses 8 bars of 16 mm dia distributed
uniformly around the circumference as reinforcement. Is the bar spacing in accordance with IS:456 guidelines?No
marks without showing calculations. (1)

Q6 Minimum shear R/f is required in a beam design if ___________ (1)

Q7 A column of size 550 mm x 750 mm and a unsupported length 4 m carries a factored axial load of 2600 kN, with
the larger lateral dimension oriented along x-axis. The column carries a factored moment of 160 kNm about the x-
axis. The ecentricity may be neglected only if emin in any direction is less than 5% of the corresponding lateral
dimension. The factored design moments about x-axis and y-axis are respectively: (No marks without showing
calculations) (2)

Q8a) An under-reinforced section is preferred in design because ______________________ (1)

Q8b) The minimum value of the interaction factor αn in biaxial bending design of column is ________ (1)
