Question { CCCL, 15762 }

difference between limit state method and working stress in
terms of load

Answer

Working Stress Method
The Stresses in an element is obtained from the working loads and compared with permissible stresses.
The method follows linear stress-strain behaviour of both the materials.
Modular ratio can be used to determine allowable stresses.
Material capabilities are under estimated to large extent. Factor of safety are used in working stress method.
The member is considered as working stress.
Ultimate load carrying capacity cannot be predicted accurately.
The main drawback of this method is that it results in an uneconomical section.
Limit State Method
The stresses are obtained from design loads and compared with design strength.
In this method, it follows linear strain relationship but not linear stress relationship (one of the major difference between the two methods of design).
The ultimate stresses of materials itself are used as allowable stresses.
The material capabilities are not under estimated as much as they are in working stress method. Partial safety factors are used in limit state method.

Question { 12276 }

how can we calculate the amount of concrete in trapezoidal
footing?

Answer

Right formula is = V = [L X B X d] + h / 3 [ A1 + A2 + ROUTE UNDER A1 A2 ] where , l = length , b = breadth , d = bottom depth , h = D - d , A1 = bottom area , A2= top area (ii) is = V = [L X B X d] + h/6(A1 + A2 + 4 Am) where , h = D - d , A1 = bottom area , A2= top area, Am = Mean of Top and Bottom Area

Question { IVRCL, 13061 }

what type of cement are used for fixing of tiles at
floor/wall

Answer

OPC 43 grade cement is more appropriate as I have found sometimes cracks in dado tiles after fixing due to 53 grade cement use, where more heat is produced during reaction with water.
