An agricultural land of 437ha is to be irrigated for a particular crop. The base period of the crop is 90 days and the total depth of water required by the crop is 105cm. If a rainfall of 15cm occurs during the base period, the duty of irrigation water is

For limit state of collapse, the partial safety factors recommended by IS 456:2000 for estimating the design strength of concrete and reinforcing steel are respectively

A rectangular concrete beam of width $$120$$ $$mm$$ and depth $$200$$ $$mm$$ is prestressed by pretensioning to a force of $$150$$ $$kN$$ at an eccentricity of $$20$$ $$mm.$$ The cross sectional area of the prestressing steel is $$187.5\,\,m{m^2}.$$ Take modulus of elasticity of steel and concrete as $$2.1 \times {10^5}\,\,MPa$$ and $$3.0 \times {10^4}\,\,MPa$$ respectively. The percentage loss of stress in the prestressing steel due to elastic deformation of concrete is

A 12 mm thick plate is connected to two 8 mm plates, on either side through a 16 mm diameter power driven field rivet as shown in the figure below. Assuming permissible shear stress as 90MPa and permissible bearing stress as 270 MPa in the rivet, the rivet value of the joint is
