Open questionAR-B1NAT2 marksNeeds review
A simply supported RCC beam of span 4 m is supporting a brick wall over its entire span. The brick wall is 250 mm thick and 2 m high. The RCC beam has a depth of 600 mm and width of 250 mm. The density of brick masonry and RCC can be assumed as 18 KN/m^3 and 25 KN/m^3 respectively. Considering the load of the wall and self-weight of the RCC beam, the maximum bending moment in the beam (in KN-m) will be ______ [round off to two decimal places].

An Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test was done on a hardened concrete element using a direct transmission method as per IS 516 (Part 5/Section 1): 2018. The distance between the transducer and receiver was 600 mm. The time taken for the induced wave to travel this distance is measured as 0.18 milliseconds. Based on the following Table, the concrete quality grading is __________.
Velocity (km/s) – cross probing | Concrete quality grading |
|---|---|
Above 4.4 | Excellent |
3.75 – 4.4 | Good |
3.0 – 3.75 | Doubtful |
Less than 3.0 | Poor |
