greater than its width
|
||
|
either (a) and (b)

any one of these
|
||
| 4. | Which of the following statement is correct ? | |
|
The maximum longitudinal reinforcement in an axially loaded short column is 6 % of gross cross-sectional area
|
||
|
The columns with circular cross-section are provided with transverse reinforcement helical type only
|
||
|
The spacing of lateral ties cannot be more than 16 times the diameter of tie bar

none of these
|
||
| 6. | Which of the following statement is wrong ? | |
|
The hooks and other means of anchoring do not delay the collapse of structure
|
||
|
The frictional resistance is high for smooth bar surface
|
||
|

|
||
|
all of the above
|

|
||
|
When the pile has to penetrate hard stratum, the lateral reinforcement at the top of the pie for a distance of three times the width, should be in the form of helix
|
||
|
none of the above
