1.	Which of the following reasons is not responsible for setting up stresses in a wall?(a) Its own weight(b) Weight of superimposed loads(c) Cement(d) Lateral pressureThe question was posed to me during an internship interview.Origin of the question is Load Bearing Walls in portion Load Bearing Walls of Construction & Building Materials
Answer» Right choice is (c) Cement For explanation I would say: Stresses are set up in walls by its own weight, by the weight of superimposed LOADS and by lateral PRESSURE. The RESISTANCE to these stresses determines the STRENGTH of a wall. More the resistance more is the strength.
