241. The purpose of lateral ties in short RC columns is to
avoid buckling of longitudinal bars.
242. In a doubly reinforced rectangular beam, the allowable stress in compression steel is less than the permissible stress in tension in steel

first.
2. The moment of resistance will be less than that of the balanced section.
245. Which one of the following sections of equal cross-sectional area can resist the torsional moment of RCC beam section more efficiently when working stress
design is being adopted? A box section
246. Loss of stress with time at constant strain in steel is called relaxation
247. Deep beams are designed for bending moment only
248. If 'P' is the prestressing force applied at a maximum eccentricity 'g' at mid-span, (Fig. 14.1), to balance the concentrated load "W", the balancing load will be
4.0 Pg/L
249. In a check for development length (L𝒹), L𝒹 shall not exceed M/V + L₀ where M, is moment of resistance of the section after bar curtailment, V is maximum shear in the region of M₁ and L₀ at discontinuous end is equal to 12 Φ (Φ is diameter of bars) or effective depth 'd' whichever is greater
250. In the limit state design of concrete structures the strain distribution is
assumed to be. Linear

checked ?

2. cracking
257.
Doubly reinforced section - Reduction in sectional depth Limit state design - Ultimate moment capacity Minimum cover - Durability Span depth ratio - Serviceability
258. The bending moment at the edges of a square vertical bunker due to a lateral pressure 'p' per unit area is pl²/12
259.
A. Continuous bridge - Used for large spans B. Causeways - To allow flood water to pass over C. Economic span - Used for deciding the number of piers D. Viaduct - Bridge to enable road to pass over a cutting
