Answer» Bending moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element causing the element to bend.[1][2] The most common or SIMPLEST structural element SUBJECTED to bending moments is the beam. The diagram shows a beam which is simply supported at both ends. Simply supported means that each end of the beam can rotate; therefore each end support has no bending moment. The ends can only react to the shear LOADS. Other beams can have both ends fixed; therefore each end support has both bending moment and shear reaction loads. Beams can also have one end fixed and one end simply supported. The simplest type of beam is the cantilever, which is fixed at one end and is free at the other end (neither simple or fixed). In reality, beam supports are usually neither ABSOLUTELY fixed nor absolutely rotating freely |

What is a suspension bridge? What is its limitation of span over a waterway? |
|
Answer» A suspension bridge is a TYPE of bridge in which the deck (the load-bearing portion) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspenders. The first MODERN examples of this type of bridge were built in the early 1800s. Simple suspension bridges, which lack vertical suspenders, have a long history in many mountainous parts of the world. |

Derive an equation for quicksand condition. |
|
Answer» If the side FRICTION with the TUBE is neglected, the process of QUICK sand can be avoided if the following condition is satisfied: AL gsub > hAgw (3.12) where gsub and gw are respectively the submerged specific weight of the soil and the specific weight of water. The critical hydraulic gradient ic is defined as that which corresponds to the case in which both sides of relation (3.12) are equal, or ic = gsub/gw (3.13) This means that if the hydraulic gradient in granular soil exceeds the ratio between the submerged specific weight of soil and that of water, quick sand condition is expected to occur. The gsub is defined in terms of the specific gravity of the solid particles G and the void ratio e by the relation: gsub = gw(G-1)/(1+e) (3.14) The SUBSTITUTION from (3.14) into (3.13) leads to equation (3.15) ic = (G-1)/(1+e) (3.15) The later is the more common relation USED for ic. |

The earth's magnetic field at a given point is 0.5 x 10^-5 Wb/m2. This field is to be annulled by magnetic induction at the centre of a circular loop of radius 5 cm. The current reqired to be flown in the loop is nearly ------ A. |
|
Answer» # ANSWER- 0.4A # Explaination- Consider a LOOP of radius 5cm carrying currem I. Magnetic induction at center of circular CONDUCTING loop is given by B=µ.n.I/2r Here, n=1 r=5cm=0.05m µ=4π×10^-7 Also magnetic induction of conducting loop ANNULLED magnetic FIELD of earth at that point. Hence B=0.5×10^-5 Wb/sq.m Putting all these values, 0.5×10^-5=I×[4π×10^-7 ×1/(2×0.05)] I=0.5×10^-5 ×0.1/(4π×10^-7) I=5/4π I=0.397A Approx I=0.4A. |

Explain Mohr Coulomb’s shear failure theory. |
|
Answer» Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model (see yield surface) describing the response of BRITTLE materials such asconcrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as WELL as normal stress. Most of the classical engineering materials somehow follow this RULE in at least a portion of their shear failure envelope. GENERALLY the theory applies to materials for which the compressive STRENGTH far exceeds the tensile strength.[1] |

Tunneling in horizontal and folded rocks. |
|
Answer» A tunnel is a long, narrow, essentially linear excavated underground opening, the length of which greatly EXCEEDS its width or HEIGHT. (Walhstrom, 1973). In CONTRAST, a cavern is an underground opening whoselength and width are roughly similar. These two types of EXCAVATIONS are end-members, and every underground excavation undertaken by mankind can be looked UPON as a combination of the two. A shaft can simply be thought of as a tunnel which is vertical rather than horizontal. |
