ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 2 - Question 1

Consider the following statements:

  1. In a composite construction, interface slipping is prevented by using shear connectors.
  2. A partially prestressed member is one in which tensile stresses and cracking are permitted under service loads.
  3. The propagation of a shear crack in prestressed concrete member depends on shape of the cross-section of beam.

Which of the above statements are CORRECT?

Detailed Solution for ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 2 - Question 1

These shear connections resist the horizontal shear at the interface and prevent slippage between the beam and the slab. The shear connectors are usually in the form of steel studs welded to the top flange of the beam and embedded in the concrete slab.

Partial prestressing as defined by the Joint ACI-ASCE Committee 423[1] is 'An approach in design and construction in which prestressed reinforcement or a combination of prestressed and nonprestressed reinforcement is used such that tension and cracking in concrete due to flexure are allowed under service dead and live.

For a propagation angle of β = 45 ° , the normal stress vanishes ( σ x 0 = 0 ) , indicating that the shear crack tip propagates from the tension zone into the compression zone of the member. At this point, the transferred shear stress is identical to the tensile strength of the concrete ( τ 0 = f c t ).

Hence option (D) is correct.

ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

Consider the following statements:

  1. Slip occurs more readily when the atoms are far away from each other.
  2. The direction in which that the dislocation moves is called the slip direction, and the planes impacted by the slip are called the slip planes.
  3. The stress required to induce slip increases exponentially with increasing interplanar spacing.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

Slip occurs more readily when the atoms are close together. The stress required to induce slip increases exponentially with increasing interplanar spacing. Slip requires the breaking of bonds, so materials with strong covalent bonds (such as polymers) are resistant. Materials with ionic bonds (such as metal oxides) are resistant because of larger interplanar distances and the repulsions caused when particles with like charge are forced to pass close to each other.

The direction in which the dislocation moves is called the slip direction, and the planes impacted by the slip are called the slip planes. Together the slip planes and slip direction make up the slip system. Sufficient energy to break the bonds and move the atoms is required for slip to occur, andthe dislocation will move in the direction that requires the least energy.
