Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

Poisson's ratio for steel within elastic limit, ranges from

A 0.15 to 0.20

B 0.25 to 0.24

C 0.25 to 0.33

D 0.33 to 0.35

E 0.45 to 0.50

ANS:C - 0.25 to 0.33

Poisson's ratio for different materials:

Cork - 0
Concrete - 0.1 - 0.2
Aluminium - 0.33
Cast iron - 0.2 - 0.3
Steel - 0.27 - 0.3
Perfectly elastic rubber - 0.5
