Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Loading after removing of cable
Q7.Considering the symmetry of a rigid frame as shown below, the magnitude of the bending
moment (in kNm) at P (preferably using the moment distribution method) is
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Axis of symmetry is passing through a column; hence it can be treated as
Q10.A circular raft foundation of 20 m diameter and 1.6m thick is provided for a tank that applies
a bearing pressure of 110 kPa on sandy soil with Young’s modulus, E,’ = 30 MPa and
Poisson’s ration, υs = 0.3. The raft is made of concrete (EC = 30 GPa and υC = 0.15) .
Considering the raft as rigid, the elastic settlement (in mm) is
