Correct Answer: The minimum pitch should not be less than 2.5 times the gross diameter of the river
2. The effective length L of a simply supported beam with ends restrained against torsion, and also the ends of compression flange partially restrained against lateral bending, is given by
4. In a member subjected to an axial tensile force and bending moment, the maximum allowable stress in axial tension is ft and the maximum allowable bending stress in tension is fht. If ft and fht are their corresponding actual axial tensile and bending stresses, the relationship which holds goods is
7. Strengths of a rivet in single shearing, in bearing and in tearing are 3425 kg, 4575 kg and 5025 kg respectively. If the load in the member is 35 tonnes, the number of rivets required, is
8. If P is the load applied to a bracket with an eccentricity e, the resisting moment F exerted by a rivet at a distance rn from the centre of gravity, is
