- Various stresses in jointed plain concrete pavement with slab size of 3.5 m x 4.5 m are denoted as follows :
Wheel load stress at interior = \(S_{wl}^i\)
Wheel load stress at edge = \(S_{wl}^e\)
Wheel load stress at corner = \(S_{wl}^c\)
Warping stress at interior = \(S^i_t\)
Warping stress at edge = \(S_t^e\)

- A homogeneous, prismatic, linearly elastic steel bar fixed at both the ends has a slenderness ratio (l/r) of 105, where I is the bar length and r is the radius of gyration. The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 12 × 10-6 /°C. Consider the effective length of the steel bar as 0.51 and neglect the self-weight of the bar.

Questions Asked in GATE CE exam
- A bridge has an expected design life of 50 years. It is designed for a flood discharge of 1000 m\(^3\)/s, which corresponds to a return period of 100 years. Determine the risk (probability) that the design flood will be equalled or exceeded at least once during the design life of the bridge. (Enter the numerical value of risk in decimal form, correct up to three decimal places.)
