3. What is gravity retaining w all?

2012) rin
(AUC Nov/Dec-
g.n
A gravity wall made of plain concrete or brick masonry. The stability of the
wall is maintained by its weight. It is generally made up to a height of 3m of wall.
et
4. How the vertical stem of a counterfort retaining w all is designed? (AUC
May/Jun-2012)
The stem is designed as a continuous slab with span equal to the spacing of
counterforts. The spacing of counterforts may vary from 2.5m to 4m.maximum load
on stem is at its lowest portion due to maximum horizontal earth pressure.
Consider one meter height of vertical slab and design for maximum moments.
The maximum negative moment at the end support may be taken as wl2/10 and that
at intermediate supports as wl2/12, where l is the span and w is the earth pressure
intensity at the lowest portion of vertical slab.
The reinforcement curtailed towards the top. The section is checked for shear
and end anchorage.

5.What is the structural action betw een cantilever and counterfort type
retaining w all? (AUC May/Jun-2013)
In cantilever retaining wall the pressure and other forces are withstand by the
stem of the retaining wall and base slab.
In counterfort retaining wall is provided the height of retaining wall is more
than 6m.the walls also provided perpendicular to stem wall. The counterfort act as
support to stem and heel slab.
6. What is the function of weep hole in retaining w all construction?

(AUC May/Jun-2013)
The weep hole is provided in the retaining wall for the purpose of water distribution
through the hole from the back fill materials.
ww
The weep hole is act as drainage in the hilly side retaining walls due to the rain
water.

8.Define Retaining Wall. ee rin
g.n
A retaining wall is a wall, often made of concrete, built for the purpose of
retaining, or holding back, a soil mass (or other material).
9. Define Active and Passive Earth Pressure. (May 2011)

et
Active Earth Pressure: It is the pressure that at all times are tending to move or
overturn the retaining wall”
Passive Earth Pressure: “It is reactionary pressures that will react in the form of
a resistance to movement of the wall.
10.Explain shear key and its condition.

It is advantageous to provide a shear key just below the stem so that the
reinforcement can be extended in to shear key. Condition: Factor of safety
against sliding by the frictional force will not be sufficient

apply load on dome it get resisted by their horizontal rings. There will thus be a
thrust of one ring on the other. This thrust is called Meridional thrust

thrust will produce a hoop tension.

U NIT –IV YIELD LINE THEORY

PART-A
1. List the assumptions made in yield line analysis of slabs.

(May/Jun-2013) (Nov/Dec-2011) (May/Jun-2012)
 The reinforcing bars are fully yielded across the yield lines at failure.
 The yield lines divide the slab into various segments who in turn behave
classically.
 The entire deformation take place only in the yield lines and the individual
segments of the slab are plane segments in the collapse condition.
ww The bending and twisting moments have the maximum values and are uniformly
distributed along the yield lines.
w.E
 The yield lines are straight at in intersection of individual inclined segments.
asy
2. Define yield line theory. (May/Jun-2013)
The yield line theory is largely based upon the yield lines that develop in any
En
reinforced concrete slab (rectangular, circular, square or any other geometrical shape in
plan) before its final collapse. This stage reaches under loads approaching collapse load
gin
or ultimate load that the slab can carry.
The collapse loads, movements and shears can be calculated from the crack pattern
ee
developed in slab, under idealized support conditions and only uniformly distributed loads.
3. What are the characteristic features of yield lines?

2012) rin
(Nov/Dec-2011)(May/Jun-
 Yield lines end at the supporting edges of the slab

 Yield lines are straight g.n
axes of rotation of adjacent slab et
 A yield line or yield line produced passes through the intersection of the
 Axes of rotation generally lie along lines of supports and pass over any
columns.
4. What is meant by yield lines?
The failure of reinforced concrete slabs of different shapes such as square,

rectangular, circular with different types of edge conditions is preceded by a characteristic
pattern of cracks, which are generally referred to as yield lines.
5. State the principle of virtual work. (Nov/Dec-2013)
If a deformable structure in equilibrium under the action of a system of external

forces is subjected to a virtual deformation compatible with its condition of support, the
110

work done by these forces on the displacements associated with the virtual deformation is
equal to the work done by the internal stresses on the strains associated with this
deformation.
6. What is meant by an orthotropically reinforced

slab? (Nov/Dec-2012)
If the reinforcement in the two directions is not the same, it is said to be
orthotropically
reinforced slab.
7. What is meant by an isotropically reinforced

slab? (Nov/Dec-2012)
The ultimate moment of resistance in an isotropically reinforced slab, in any
ww direction, is
the same.
w.E
8. Draw the typical yield line pattern for different
slabs.

2013)

9. What are the two methods of determining the ultimate load capacity of
reinforced concrete slabs?
Virtual work
method Equilibrium
method
10. What is the concept of yield line method?
In the yield line method, the computation of ultimate load is based on the pattern of
yield lines that are developed in the slabs under conditions approaching collapse.
11. What is a yield line?
ww A yield line is defined as a line in the plane of the slab across which reinforcing
bars have yielded and about which excessive deformation under constant limit moment
w.E
continues to yield leading to failure.
asy
12.State the location of maximum shear force in a simple beam with any kind of
loading.
En
In a simple beam with any kind of load, the maximum positive shear force occurs
at the left hand support and maximum negative shear force occurs at right hand
support.
gin
ee
13. What is meant by maximum shear force diagram?
rin
Due to a given system of rolling loads the maximum shear force for every section of
the girder can be worked out by placing the loads in appropriate positions. When these
g.n
are plotted for all the sections of the girder, the diagram that we obtain is the maximum
shear force diagram. This diagram yields the ‘design shear’ for each
14. What do you understand by the term reversal of stresses?
In certain long trusses the web members can develop either tension or
et
compression depending upon the position of live loads. This tendency to change the
nature of stresses is called reversal of stresses.
15. Define: Trussed Beam.
A beam strengthened by providing ties and struts is known as Trussed Beams.

Load bearing masonry walls the slenderness ratio is the important design
criteria, so to limit we limit the slenderness of the load bearing wall.
