B. Floor beams
C. Slabs
D. NowhereFloor beams transmit loads to side girder.
Floor loads are transmitted from slabs to which part in a floor girder system ?
A. Supporting columns

Which of the following material will have the highest value of response modification factor ?
A. Wood
B. Reinforced concrete frames with flexible joints
C. Reinforced concrete shear walls
D. Structural steel framesMore ductile a material is, higher will be the value of response modification factor.
To draw qualitative ILD of indeterminate structure, which of the following concept is used.
A. Unit Load Method
B. Castigilano’s First energy theorem
C. Mullers Breslou’s Principle
D. Kani’s MethodForce-displacement requirement of statically indeterminate structures depend upon which factor ?
A. material’s response
B. magnitude of load applied
C. supports
D. position of load appliedIt depends upon material’s response. We have assumed the material to linear elastic for further discussions.
Which of the following methods of structural analysis is a force method ?
A. column analogy method
B. moment distribution method
C. three moment equation
D. slope deflection methodThe column analogy method is a force method used to analyze the indeterminate structures mainly frames, fixed beams, and arches
Which of the following methods for solving indeterminate structures are easiest for computational purposes ?
A. Moment area method
B. Force method
C. Method of consistent deformation
D. Displacement methodA and C are same options and deflection method requires less effort.
Ui is not developed when ?
A. Structure bends
B. External force is zero
C. Structure deforms
D. Structure elongatesUi is developed when structure deforms, which is happening in other three options.
If a structure has 2j – r no. of members, then it will be:
A. unstable
B. stable
C. depends upon structure
D. depends upon magnitude of loadIn these cases, structures can be stable as well unstable.

A. 3
B. 5
C. 9
D. 10
