Systematic errors are those errors

The required slope correction for a length of 60m, along a gradient of 1 in 20 is

True meridians at different places converge

Tensile strength of cement mortar is usually found by:

The modulus of elasticity of concrete mix M25 is

A rectangular simply supported prestressed concrete beam of span $$L$$ is subjected to a prestressing force of $$P$$ acting centrally at end sections and the prestress tendons are parabolically draped with maximum eccentricity of $${e_{\max }}$$ at the mid span section. The uniformly distributed upward load $$(W)$$ on the beam due to prestressing will be:

The principle of superposition is made use of in structural computations when:

The magnitude of the only shear stresses acting at a point in plane stress situation is $$7.5\,N/n{m^2}.$$ The magnitudes of the principle stresses will be:

Two elastic rods $$AB$$ and $$BC$$ are hinged at $$B$$. The joint $$A$$ is a hinged one, joint $$C$$ is over a roller and the joint $$B$$ is supported on a spring having its stiffness as $$K.$$

A load $$P$$ acts at mid-point of the rod $$BC$$. The downward deflection of joint $$B$$ is:

A cylindrical tank of radius $$'r'$$ and wall thickness $$'t'$$ has flat end closures. The tank is subjected to an internal pressure $$P.$$ The longitudinal $$\left( {{\sigma _x}} \right)$$ and the circumferential $$\left( {{\sigma _\theta }} \right)$$ stresses respectively are given by:

A rigid rod $$AB$$ of length $$L$$ is hinged at $$A$$ and is maintained in its vertical position by two springs with spring constants $$K$$ attached at end $$B.$$ The system is under stable equilibrium under the action of load $$P$$ when $$P < \,{P_{Cr}}$$. The system will be in unstable equilibrium when $$P$$ attains a value greater than

The static Indeterminacy of the structure shown below is

The fixed beam $$AB$$ has a span of $$3000$$ $$mm$$ and is of uniform cross-section. The plastic moment capacity $$({M_P})$$ of the beam's cross-section is $$1.5 \times {10^8}\,\,N$$-$$mm.$$

The beam will have like a simply supported beam when the magnitude of distributed load $$P$$ attains a value equal to:
