When a body is subjected to direct tensile stresses ($${\sigma _{\text{x}}}$$ and $${\sigma _{\text{y}}}$$) in two mutually perpendicular directions, accompanied by a simple shear stress $${\tau _{{\text{xy}}}}{\text{,}}$$ then in Mohr's circle method, the circle radius is taken as

$$\frac{{{\sigma _{\text{x}}} - {\sigma _{\text{y}}}}}{2} + \tau $$

$$\frac{{{\sigma _{\text{x}}} + {\sigma _{\text{y}}}}}{2} + \tau $$

$$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} - {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + 4\tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

$$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} + {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + 4\tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

Correct Answer: $$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} - {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + 4\tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

When a body is subjected to biaxial stress i.e. direct stresses ($${\sigma _{\text{x}}}$$) and ($${\sigma _{\text{y}}}$$) in two mutually perpendicular planes accompanied by a simple shear stress ($${\tau _{{\text{xy}}}}$$ ), then maximum shear stress is

Tresca or maximum-shear stress criteria assumes that yielding occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches a value of the shear stress in the uniaxial tension test. Assume the principal stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 where σ1 is largest, and σ3 is the smallest principal stresses. Find the value of minimum shear stress to cause yielding, given that yield stress in tension is equal to σo?

τ = σo

τ = σo/2

τ = σo/3

τ = σo/4

If nominal shear stress $${\tau _{\text{v}}}$$ exceeds the design shear strength of concrete $${\tau _{\text{c}}}$$, the nominal shear reinforcement as per IS : 456-1978 shall be provided for carrying a shear stress equal to

$${\tau _{\text{v}}}$$

$${\tau _{\text{c}}}$$

$${\tau _{\text{v}}} - {\tau _{\text{c}}}$$

$${\tau _{\text{v}}} + {\tau _{\text{c}}}$$
