As per $$IS$$ $$456:2000,$$ in the Limit State Design of a flexural member, the strain in reinforcing bars under tension at ultimate state should not be less than

Two plates are connected by fillet welds of size $$10$$ $$mm$$ and subjected to tension, as shown in the sketch. The thickness of each plate is $$12$$ $$mm.$$ The yield stress and the ultimate tensile stress of steel are $$250$$ $$MPa$$ and $$410$$ $$MPa,$$ respectively. The welding is done in the workshop $$\left( {{\gamma _{mw}} = 1.25} \right).$$

As per the Limit State Method of $$IS$$ $$800:2007,$$ the minimum length (rounded off to the nearest higher multiple of $$5$$ $$mm$$) of each weld to transmit a force $$P$$ equal to $$270$$ $$kN$$ (factored) is

In a steel plate with bolted connections, the rupture of the net section is a mode of failure under

If a small concrete cube is submerged deep in still water in such a way that the pressure exerted on all faces of the cube is $$p,$$ then the maximum shear stress developed inside the cube is
