Strength of Material MCQs For Civil Engineers
1. What does mean by simple stress: (A) Shear stress (B) Only one type of stress (C) Direct compressive stress (D) Direct tensile stress 2. We can define linear stress as: (A) Shortening per unit original length (B) Change in length per unit original length (C) Extension per unit original length (D) None of the above 3. In any material stress at any point is defined as: (A) Modulus elasticity time strain (B) Load per unit area (C) Resisting force per unit area (D) None of the above 4. Gauge length in a tension test on bar means: (A ) The length over which extension is measured (B) Grip to grip distance (C) The length over which extensometer grips (D) None of the above 5. Basically elastic limit means: (A) The stress remains the same but strain increases (B) Limiting value of stress up to which stress is proportional to strain (C) Limiting value of stress up to which if the material is stressed and then released, strain disappears completely (D) None of the above 6. Generally in the cas
