Correct Answer: tangent is equal to the rate of the maximum resistance to sliding on any internal inclined plane to the normal pressure acting on the plane
3. A foundation is called shallow if its depth, is
Correct Answer: the ratio of spans in two directions is less than 2
5. If At is the gross area of steel in tension, d is the effective depth of the beam and y is the depth of the centre of gravity of the resultant compression, the moment of resistance M of the beam, is given by
Correct Answer: 0.1 L from the centre edge of column
7. In a doubly-reinforced beam if c and t are stresses in concrete and tension reinforcement, d is the effective depth and n is depth of critical neutral axis n, the following relationship holds good
