GATE Civil Engineering Topic Wise Practice Tests - 166

This document contains 30 multiple choice questions related to solid mechanics. The questions cover topics like stresses, strains, beams, shear stresses, and material properties. Sample questions include calculating maximum deflection of a beam under a uniform load, determining volumetric strain for an axially pulled bar, and finding the maximum bending stress at the fixed end of a cantilever beam loaded at an angle. The correct answers to each question are also provided.
