please tell about the sort of questions to crack civil engineering exam.
1.what is the necessity of reinforcement in columns?
A.providing of longitudinal reinforcement reduces the size of column, increase the load carrying capacity of columns and resists any tension due to bending of column, horizontal loads, eccentric loads or moments.
providing of transverse reinforcement in the form of lateral ties resist longitudinal spliting of column due to development of transverse tension and prevents buckling of longitudinal bars.
