In testing a pile by load test, pile platform is loaded with one and half times the design load and a maximum settlement is noted. The load is gradually removed and the consequent rebound is measured. For a safe pile, the net settlement (i.e. total settlement minus rebound) per tonne of test load should not exceed
In a pre-stressed beam carrying an external load W with a bent tendon is having angle of -stressed load P. The net downward load at the centre is
If p1 and p2 are mutually perpendicular principal stresses acting on a soil mass, the normal stress to the principal plane carrying the principal stress p1, is:
If d is the diameter of a bar, ft is allowable tensile stress and fb, is allowable bond stress, the bond length is given by
The length of the lap in a compression member is kept greater than bar diameter x (Permissible stress in bar / Five times the bond stress) or
If the tendon is placed at an eccentricity e below the centroidal axis of the longitudinal axis of a rectangular beam (sectional modulus Z and stressed load P in tendon) the stress at the extreme top edge
An R.C.C. column of 30 cm diameter is reinforced with 6 bars 12 mm placed symmetrically along the circumference. If it carries a load of 40, 000 kg axially, the stress is
A simply supported beam 6 m long and of effective depth 50 cm, carries a uniformly distributed load 2400 kg/m including its self weight. If the lever arm factor is 0.85 and permissible tensile stress of steel is 1400 kg/cm2 , the area of steel required, is
