Maximum reinforcement in an RCC beam of dimension b x d shall not exceed ___

A simply supported beam of span 4 m subjected to two-point loads of 60 kN and 40 kN at a distance of 1 m from either supports respectively. An equivalent beam of the same span subjected to 50 kN load at the mid span which produces a vertical deflection of 40 mm and 60 mm at distance of 1 m from either supports. Determine the deflection under the load of 50 kN.

A saturated soil mass has a total density of 22 kN/m\(^3\) and a water content of 10%. What is the dry density of the soil?

A beam of span \( L \) and is fixed at both ends. If that beam is subjected to a concentrated load at the middle of the span, what is the fixed end moment at the left end?

Consider a beam which is fixed at end A and simply supported at end B of span \( L \). If the support B settles by an amount \( \delta \), then what is the fixed-end moment (FEM) developed at end A?
