Question No : 1
Assertion A : From consideration of structural soundness and economy of design, most codes control the maximum slenderness ratio of masonry walls and columns.
Reason R : By controlling the maximum slenderness ratio, failure is by excessive stress and not by buckling. Select your answer according to codes given below:
Question No : 2
For masonry work with solid bricks, consistency of mortar should be
Question No : 3
For masonry built in 1 : 1 : 6 cement-lime-sand mix mortar or equivalent, the horizontal shear stress permissible on the area of a mortar bed joint is
Question No : 4
If H is the height of wall between centers of supports, then the effective height of wall where concrete floors have a bearing on wall irrespective of the direction of span will be
Question No : 5
For designing masonry components of a structure, seismic forces provision in the design calculation is not necessary for buildings constructed in
Question No : 6
A 200 mm thick brick masonry wall made of modular bricks carries an axial load of 30 kN/m from wall above and an eccentric load of 20 kN/m from RCC floor acting at a distance of 47.5 mm from the centre line of the wall. The resultant eccentricity ratio is
Question No : 7
In a cavity wall, both leaves of which are load bearing, the effective thickness is taken as
