     tensile and compressive

    C.

     both compressive

    D.

     both tensile


  3. Critical section for shear in case of flat slabs is at a distance of

  4. A.

     effective depth of slab from periphery of column/drop panel

    B.

     d/2 from periphery of column/capital/ drop panel

    C.

     at the drop panel of slab

    D.

     at the periphery of column


  5. If the depth of neutral axis for a singly reinforced rectangular section is represented by kd in working stress design, then the value of k for balanced section

     increasing the depth of beam

    B.

     using thinner bars but more in number

    C.

     using thicker bars but less in number

    D.
