Which of the following types of failures occur in the beam-column connections?
1. Failure by lateral-torsional buckling
2. Failure by combined instability in both the principal directions
3. Failure by combined twisting and bending on the torsionally weak sections
4. Failure by combined twisting and bending when plane of bending does not contain the shear centre

The strength of a column depends on which of the following imperfections?
1. The material being isotropic and homogeneous.
2. Geometric variations of columns
3. Eccentricity of load

A tie bar 50 mm × 8 mm is to carry a load of 80 kN. A specimen of the same quality steel of cross-sectional area is 250 mm2. For a maximum load of 125 kN carried by the specimen, the factor of safety in the design will be

A cable is suspended between two points 75 m apart at the same level. It carries a uniformly distributed load of 12.5 kN per horizontal meter. If the maximum tension in the cable is limited to 1000 kN, the minimum central dip will be nearly

A cable carrying a load of 10 kN/m run of horizontal span is stretched between supports of 100 m apart. If the supports are at same level and central dip of 8 m, the ratio of greatest and least tensions in the cable will
be
