SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. In linear elastic system
Potential energy (U)= ∫▒(M^2 dx)/2EI
→ Potential energy to be minimum
▭(∂U/∂P=0 )
→ This equation represents the compatibility condition at the point where P is acting.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. In linear elastic structure element
[∆]=[F] [ R]
[R]=[k] [∆]
so,▭([F]=1/[k] )
[F] → flexibility
[k] → stiffness

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Consistency index (I_C ) State
I_C>1 Solid or Semi-solid state
I_C<0 Liquid state
0 < I_C < 1 Plastic state

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given, ϕ=30°
Active earth pressure coefficient k_a=(1-sinϕ)/(1+sinϕ)=(1-sin30)/(1+sin30)=0.5/1.5=1/3
〖Passive earth pressure coefficient k〗_P=(1+sinϕ)/(1-sinϕ)=(1+sin30)/(1-sin30)=1.5/0.5=3
k_P/k_a =3/(1\/3)
▭(k_P/k_a =9)

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Vane shear test is used for measuring the shearing strength of cohesive soil of low shear strength. It is suitable for sensitive clays.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. The escape velocity on the earth surface.
Ve = √(2g R_e ) , Re = 6.37 × 106 m
Ve = √(2×9.8×6.37× 10^6 )
Ve = 11.17 Km/sec
