    C.
    945 kg/cm2
    D.
    1650 kg/cm2
    E.
    1875 kg/cm2

  3. Column footing is provided

  4. A.
    to spread the column load over a larger area
    B.
    to ensure that intensity of bearing pressure between the column footing and soil does not exceed permissible bearing capacity of the soil
    C.
    to distribute the column load over soil through the column footing
    D.
    all the above.

  5. Pick up the correct statement from the following:

  6. A.
    When the gauge distance is larger than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a zig-zag line

    C.
    When the gauge distance and pitch are both equal, the failure to the section becomes more likely as the diameter of the holes increases
