Ques 27 GATE 2023 SET-2

When a simply-supported elastic beam of span L and flexural rigidity El (E is the modulus of elasticity and l is the moment of inertia of the section) is loaded with a uniformly distributed load w per unit length, the deflection at the mid-span is
Δ_0 = (5/384)(wL^4)/(EI)
. If the load on one half of the span is now removed, the mid-span deflection

A

reduces to Δ_0/2

B

reduces to a value less than Δ_0/2

C

reduces to a value greater than Δ_0/2

D

remains unchanged at Δ_0


(c) is the correct answer.

A

Shear forces at H and F are zero

B

Horizontal displacements at H and F are zero

C

Vertical displacements at H and F are zero

Ques 30 GATE 2023 SET-2

M20 concrete as per IS 456: 2000 refers to concrete with a design mix having

A

an average cube strength of 20 MPa

B

an average cylinder strength of 20 MPa

C

a 5-percentile cube strength of 20 MPa

D

a 5-percentile cylinder strength of 20 MPa


(c) is the correct answer.

Ques 31 GATE 2023 SET-2

With regard to the shear design of RCC beams, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A

Excessive shear reinforcement can lead to compression failure in concrete

B

Beams without shear reinforcement, even if adequately designed for flexure, can have brittle failure

C

The main (longitudinal) reinforcement plays no role in the shear resistance of beam

D

As per IS456:2000, the nominal shear stress in the beams of varying depth depends on both the design shear force as well as the design bending moment


(a, b, d) is the correct answer.
