[Note: Here, As is the total area of tension steel bars, b is the width of the section, d is the effective depth of the bars, f_{c k} is the characteristic compressive cube strength of concrete, f_{y} is the yield stress of steel, and \mathrm{xu} is the depth of neutral axis.]

Question 1 Explanation:
Given data,
Grade of concrete = M25
Grade of Steel =\mathrm{Fe} 415
Effective depth, d=600-45=555 \mathrm{~mm}
A_{s}=3 \times \frac{\pi}{4} \times(28)^{2}=1847.26 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}
From Compression = Tension
Depth of neutral axis, x_{u}=\frac{0.87 f_{y} A_{s}}{0.36 f_{c k} b}=\frac{0.87 \times 415 \times 1847.26}{0.36 \times 25 \times 300} =247.02 \mathrm{~mm}
Limiting depth of neutral axis, x_{u, l i m}=0.48 \mathrm{~d} =0.48 \times 555=266.40 \mathrm{~mm}
\Rightarrow Section is under reinforced.
Ultimate moment of resistance
=0.36 f_{c k} b x_{u}\left(d-0.42 x_{u}\right)
=0.36 \times 25 \times 300 \times 247.02 \times (555-0.42 \times 247.02) \times 10^{-6}
=301.0 (after rounding off to one decimal place).

Question 2 |
Two plates are connected by fillet welds of size 10 \mathrm{mm} and subjected to tension, as shown in the figure. The thickness of each plate is 12 \mathrm{~mm}. The yield stress and the ultimate stress of steel under tension are 250 \mathrm{MPa} and 410 \mathrm{MPa}, respectively. The welding is done in the workshop (partial safety factor, \gamma_{\mathrm{mw}}=1.25 ). As per the Limit State Method of IS 800: 2007, what is the minimum length (in \mathrm{mm}, rounded off to the nearest higher multiple of 5 \mathrm{~mm} ) required of each weld to transmit a factored force P equal to 275 \mathrm{kN} ?

Question 2 Explanation:
Size of weld =10 \mathrm{~mm}
Thickness of each plate =12 \mathrm{~mm}
f_{y}=250 \mathrm{MPa}, f_{u}=410 \mathrm{MPa}
\begin{aligned} \gamma_{\mathrm{mw}} & =1.25 \\ \mathrm{P} & =275 \mathrm{kN} \text { (Factored) } \end{aligned}
Let us assume minimum length required of each weld =l
\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{u}}}{\sqrt{3} \gamma_{\mathrm{mw}}} \times 2 \mathrm{l} \times 0.7 \times size of weld =275 \times 10^{3}
\Rightarrow \quad \quad l=\frac{275 \times 10^{3} \times \sqrt{3} \times 1.25}{410 \times 2 \times 0.7 \times 10} =103.73 \mathrm{~mm}
The answer has to be round off to be nearest higher multiple of 5 and hence it shall be taken as 105 \mathrm{~mm}.
Hence, correct option is (B).

Question 3 Explanation:
Under sustained compressive loading, deformation in concrete increases with time even through the applied stress level is not changed. The time dependent component of strain is called creep.
Hence, correct answer is (A).
Hence, correct answer is (A).
