Q1. Draw bending moment diagram of a fixed beam subjected to udl throughout the whole length.
Ans. 
Bending moment diagram of a fixed beam subjected to udl throughout the whole length.
• Calculate the reactions at the supports of the beam

• Determine the equation for bending moment at any point along the beam

• Plot the bending moment diagram with positive and negative values

• The bending moment will be maximum at the supports and zero at the midpoint of the beam

Q3. What is 'M' in M-20 concrete?
Ans. 
M stands for mix design in M-20 concrete, indicating the compressive strength of the concrete mix.
• M-20 concrete is a mix design where 'M' represents the compressive strength of the concrete after 28 days of curing.

• The number '20' in M-20 concrete indicates the characteristic compressive strength of concrete in N/mm^2.

• Different grades of concrete have different compressive strength requirements, with M-20 being a common

Q5. What is the process of earthquake design of a multi storey building?
Ans. 
Earthquake design of a multi storey building involves analyzing seismic forces, selecting appropriate structural systems, and implementing design measures to ensure safety.
• Analyze seismic forces based on the building location and seismic zone

• Select appropriate structural systems such as reinforced concrete or steel frames

• Implement design measures like base isolation, dampers, and shear walls to enhance building's seism

Q6. Process of design of one-way and two-way slab and their differences
Ans. 
Design process of one-way and two-way slabs and their differences
• One-way slab design involves calculating bending moments and shear forces along one direction, typically supported on two opposite sides. Two-way slab design considers bending moments and shear forces in both directions, usually supported on all four sides.

• One-way slab design is simpler and more common in practice, while two-way slab design is more comple...read more

Q7. Difference between dynamic and equivalent static method of earthquake design and analysis of multi storey building
Ans. 
Dynamic method considers time history of earthquake while equivalent static method simplifies earthquake forces into equivalent static forces.
• Dynamic method analyzes building response to actual time history of earthquake ground motion.

• Equivalent static method simplifies earthquake forces into equivalent static forces based on simplified assumptions.

• Dynamic method is more accurate but computationally intensive, while eq...read more
