    Design of masonry structures
    Max. Marks:100

    1.Design of masonry structures

    a) Zone I only b) Zone I and II c) Zone I, II and III d)Zone I, II, III and IV

    2.The mode of failure of a very short masonry member having h/t ratio of less than 4 is by

    a) shear b) vertical tensile splitting c)buckling d)any of the above

    3.The bending stress in a wall or column subjected to effective vertical load need not be considered,
    if the eccentricity ratio is

    a) less than or equal to 1/24 b) less than or equal to 1/6


    c) more than 1/24 d)less than or equal to 1/12

    4.For earthquake resistant masonry buildings, the vertical distance between openings one above
    the other in a load bearing wall shall not be less than

    a) 50 cm b)60 cm c) 75 cm d) 100 cm

    5.Which of the following will give higher ratio of brickwork strength to mortar strength ?

    a) 1 : % : 3 b) 1 : Vz: 4>/2 c) 1:1:6 d) 1:2:9

    6.Assertion A : From consideration of structural soundness and economy of design, most codes
    control the maximum slenderness ratio of masonry walls and columns. Reason R : By controlling
    the maximum slenderness ratio, failure is by excessive stress and not by buckling. Select your
    answer according to codes given below:

    a)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


    b) Both A and R are true but R is not .the correct explanation of A.
    c) A is true but R is false.
    d)A is false but R is true.

    7.Water retentivity for brick masonry should not be less than

    a) 50% b) 60% c) 70% d) 80%


    8.Minimum thickness of stiffening wall for 1 to 3 storeys shall not be less than

    a) 10 cm b) 15 cm c) 20 cm d) 30 cm

    9.Full restraint is provided by (i) foundation footing of a wall (ii) timber floor spanning on the wall
    and anchored to the wall (iii) RCC slab with a minimum bearing of 10 cm on the wall Of these
    statements

    a) (i) and (iii) are correct b) (i) and (ii) are correct
    c) (ii) and (iii) are correct d) (i), (ii) and (iii) are correct

    10.Assertion A : Lime based mortars give higher ratio of brickwork strength to mortar strength as
    compared to non-lime mortar. Reason R : Lime based mortars have lower bond strength as
    compared to non-lime mortars. Select your answer according to the codes given below:

    a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.


    b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
    c) A is true but R is false.
    d) A is false but R is true

    11(a).What is gravity retaining wall?

    (b)What are the stability requirement for retaining wall?

    12(a).Name and type of movement joint.

    (b)List the classification of staircase.

    13.What theory used to design

    (a)the members under bending tension.

    (b)the member under direct tension

    14.Define

    (a) Isotropically reinforced slabs.

    (b)Orthotropically reinforced slabs.

    15.(a)What is ment by slenderness ratio of a masonry wall?

    (b) Name the various types of masonry wall used in the building construction.

    16.Desing a solid square masonry column of height 2200mm to carry an axial load of 50kN. The
    column is teid at top and bottom. Inclde the self weight of the column for the design.
    Guideline –

    • Ensure to solve every question in series.

    • Do not copy past answers, as it will lead to rejection of answer sheets.

    • Make sure to write enough length answers of descriptive questions as per the weightage.

    • Highlight more relevant case studies and practice examples.

    • Submit answer sheet in standard format only.

    • Make sure to be in time limits of submission to avoid rejection of submission after deadline.

    • In case of hand written sheet submission please be assure of sober writing and cleanliness of answer
    sheet.

    • Do take care of numerical and diagrammatical representation up to the mark if applicable.
