1. Under a concentrated load, bearing stress fb in a beam, is given by (where b is the length of the bearing plate and h is the depth of the root of the fillet).
Correct Answer: 40% to 50% in excess of the net area
6. A column is carrying an axial load W and an eccentric load P. If A is its cross-sectional area, ex and ey are the eccentricities and Pxx and Zyy the section modulli, the equivalent axial load is obtained from the formula,
9. If d is the diameter of column, D is the side of square base, W is total axial load and p is the allowable bending stress, the thickness (t) of the base plate, is
