First angle and third angle projections are two common methods used in technical drawing to represent 3D objects on a 2D plane.
First angle projection: object is placed in the first quadrant, with the front view on the top and the side view on the right.
Third angle projection: object is placed in the third quadrant, with the front view on the bottom and the side view on the left.
Both projections involve projecting the o...
Stress strain diagram of mild steel shows the relationship between stress and strain during deformation.

Alstom Transportation interview questions for designations
Bending moment diagram shows the variation of bending moment along the length of a structure.
Bending moment diagram is a graphical representation of the bending moment at any point along the length of a structure.
It is plotted with respect to the length of the structure.
The diagram helps in determining the maximum bending moment and the location of the maximum bending moment.
It is used to design the size of the structu...
Bending moment diagram of an indeterminate beam and how to find moments at mid span.
To draw the bending moment diagram, first determine the reactions at the supports using equilibrium equations.
Then, use the method of superposition or moment distribution to determine the bending moment at any point on the beam.
To find the moments at mid span, divide the beam into two parts and use the principle of superposition to find...
Moment distribution method is a structural analysis technique used to solve indeterminate systems by distributing moments through the structure.
The method involves calculating fixed-end moments and distributing them through the structure until convergence is achieved.
The moments are distributed based on the stiffness of the members and the relative stiffness of the joints.
The process is repeated until the moments at ea...
Basic assumptions in Concrete Limit Design and method to design a beam.
Basic assumptions include linear stress distribution, plane sections remain plane, and elastic behavior of concrete up to a certain limit.

Working Stress Design Method is a traditional method used for designing steel structures.
It is based on the concept of allowable stress.
The stress in the structure is limited to a certain percentage of the yield stress of the material.
The design is done by assuming a certain load and then checking if the stresses are within the allowable limits.
This method is not commonly used nowadays as it does not take into account ...
