Wheat crop requires 55 cm of water during 120 days of base period. The total rainfall during this period is 100 mm. Assume the irrigation efficiency to be 60%. The area (in ha) of the land which can be irrigated with a canal flow of 0.01 $$m^3/s$$ is

A concrete beam prestressed with a parabolic tendon is shown in the sketch. The eccentricity of the tendon is measured from the centroid of the cross-section. The applied prestressing force at service is $$1620$$ $$kN.$$ The uniformly distributed load of $$45$$ $$kN/m$$ includes the self-weight. The stress (in $$N/m{m^2}$$) in the bottom fibre at mid-span is

Which one of the following is categorized as a long-term loss of prestress in a prestressed concrete member?

The cross-section at mid-span of a beam at the edge of a slab is shown in the sketch. $$A$$ portion of the slab is considered as the effective flange width for the beam. The grades of concrete and reinforcing steel are $$M25$$ and $$Fe415,$$ respectively. The total area of reinforcing bars $$\left( {{A_{st}}} \right),$$ is $$\,4000\,\,m{m^2}.$$ At the ultimate limit state, $${x_u}$$ denotes the depth of the neutral axis from the top fibre. Treat the section as under-reinforced and flanged $$\left( {{x_u} > 100\,\,mm} \right).$$

The value of $${{x_u}}$$ (in $$mm$$) computed per the Limit State Method of $$IS$$ $$456:2000$$ is
