List of top Water Resources Engineering Questions on Maximum Shear Stress Theory

A cantilever beam of T cross-section carries uniformly distributed load. Where does the maximum magnitude of the bending stress occur?

In a direct shear test, the shear strength and normal stress on a dry sand sample at failure are 0.6 kg/cm² and 10 kg/cm², respectively. The angle of internal friction of the sand will be nearly

Given below are two statements:
Statement - I: Rate of change of shear force (f) at any section of a loaded beam is equal to the Rate of Loading (w) at the section i.e. \(w=\frac{df}{dx}\)
Statement - II: Rate of change of bending moment at any section of a loaded beam represent the shear force (F) at the section is \(f=\frac{dm}{dx}.\)
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
