locations of the maximum bending moment only.
B.
anchorage zone
C.
locations of the maximum shear zone
D.

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 106

During prestressing, spalling stresses are generated in the region behind the loaded faces of anchor blocks.

Spalling stress (bursting) occurs for the post-tensioned beam at the anchorage zone due to heavy bearing stress

At the zone between two anchorages, there is a volume of concrete surrounded by compressive stress. Forces are induced in the opposite direction to the applied forces and it forces the concrete out of the anchor block. On the other hand, the spalling stresses are set up owing to the strain compatibility relating to the effect of Poisson’s ratio. To prevent this, we use spalling reinforcement at locations of maximum bending moment

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 160

In a plate girder, the web is primarily designed to resist-

A. tensional moment
B. shear force
C. bending moment
D. diagonal buckling

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 160 The primary purpose of the web plate is to resist the shearing forces. These sections usually are more efficient in terms of steel weight than rolled sections, particularly when variable depth girders are used since they can be custom designed to suit requirements.

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 161

The serviceability criterion for a plate girder design is based upon-

A. width of flange
B. depth of web
C. minimum thickness of the web
D. stiffness of web

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 161 The serviceability criterion for a plate girder design is based upon the minimum thickness of the web.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 162

The distance between the centered of the area of tension reinforcement and the maximum compressive fiber in a reinforced concrete beam design is known as-

A. overall depth
B. effective depth
C. lever arm
D. depth of neutral axis

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 162

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 163

The Muller-Breslau principal for influence line is applicable for-

A. simple beams
B. continuous beams
C. redundant trusses
D. All of the above

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 163 The principle states that the influence lines of action (force or moment) assumes the scaled form of the deflection displacement. OR, This principle states that "ordinate of ILD for a reactive force is given by ordinate of the elastic curve if a unit deflection is applied in the direction of the reactive force."

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 164

Cross staff is used for:

A.
Measuring horizontal angles
B.
Setting out right angles
C.
Both (A) and (B)
D.
None of these above

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 165

Resins are:

A. not soluble in water
B. Soluble in spirit
C. Used in varnishes
D. Left behind on evaporation of oil

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 165 Natural resins used for varnish include amber, kauri gum, dammar, copal, rosin (colophony or pine resin), sandarac, balsam, elemi, mastic, and shellac. Varnish may also be created from synthetic resins such as acrylic, alkyd, or polyurethane.

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 166

Bernoulli's theorem deals with the law of conservation of:

A. Mass
B. Momentum
C. Energy
D. None of these

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 166 Bernoulli's principle can be derived from the principle of conservation of energy. In a steady flow, this law states that the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid along a streamline. This requires that the sum of kinetic energy, potential energy, and internal energy remain on the web’s minimum thickness constant.

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 167

The magnitude of the buoyant force can be determined by:

A. Newton's law of viscosity
B. Archimede's principle
C. Principles of moments
D. None of the above

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 167 Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid and passes through the centre of mass of this displacement fluid

Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 168

I.S.I. has specified the full strength of concrete after-

A. 7 days
B. 14 days
C. 21 days
D. 28 days

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 8 - Question 168 I.S.I. has specified the full strength of concrete after 28 days.

Hence the correct answer is option D.
