RCC Structures Design MCQs with answers for test preparation focus on civil engineering topics. This includes Reinforced Concrete Design questions and answers in PDF format, RCC MCQ questions PDF, multiple choice questions on Reinforced Concrete Structures, and RCC questions and answers PDF.

  • What does RC stand for in “RC Structures” ?

    A. Real Construction
    B. Ready for Construction
    C. Resilient Columns
    D. Reinforced Concrete

    Explanation: RC stands for Reinforced Concrete. It’s a mix of concrete and steel that makes structures stronger.

  •  What is the objective of providing foundation to a structure ?

    A. To stabilize the soil below the structure
    B. To distribute the load to the soil
    C. For the compaction of the soil below the structure
    D. To provide a base to the structure

    Explanation: The objective of providing foundation to a structure is to distribute the load to the soil

  • Why is slump cone test performed in the concrete ?

    A. To determine toughness
    B. To determine strength
    C. To find permeability
    D. To determine workability

  • What is the minimum thickness of separating walls ?

    A. 190mm
    B. 100mm
    C. 120mm
    D. 20mm

  • What is the maximum slenderness ratio of lasing bars ?

    A. 56
    B. 180
    C. 145
    D. 150

    Explanation: According to IS 800, the slenderness ratio of lasing bars should not exceed 145.

  • What is the thickness of flange of a T beam ?

    A. Thickness of the web
    B. Width of the web
    C. Thickness of concrete topping
    D. Twice of web

    Explanation: Thickness of the T beam is equal to the concrete topping as the flange is just made of concrete in a T beam.

  • What is the basic material used for manufacturing of cement ?

    A. Gypsum
    B. Granite
    C. Sand
    D. Stone

  • What is the modular ratio for M50 grade concrete ?

    A. 6.44
    B. 7.18
    C. 5.83
    D. 18.67

    Explanation: m = 280/3σcbc
    σcbc for M50 = 16
    So, m = 5.83

  • Why is Steel used as reinforced material in RCC ?

    A. Steel provides compressive strength to the structure
    B. Steel provides tensile strength to the structure
    C. Steel is not reactive to water
    D. Thermal coefficient of steel is less than that of concrete

  • Which of the following is the weight added above retaining walls ?

    A. Superimposed loads
    B. Surcharge
    C. Backfill
    D. Earth pressure
