    Housing Shortage is defined as insufficient housing/ lack of housing to accommodate the existing population. The standard household size depends upon the existing infrastructure available in the area, location of the area, etc. If the household size exceeds this standard size, it shows sharing of single dwelling unit by one or more households.

    Correct Option: B

    Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface. The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. Epoxy is either any of the basic components or the cured end products of epoxy resins, as well as a colloquial name for the epoxide functional group. In materials science, quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, oil or air to obtain certain material properties. A type of heat treating, quenching prevents undesired low temperature processes, such as phase transformations, from occurring. Galvanization or galvanizing is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot -dip galvanizing, in which the parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.

    Slenderness Ratio =
    Effective length
    Radius of gyration

    Slenderness ratio is the ratio of the length of a column and the least radius of gyration of its cross section. Often denoted by lambda. It is used extensively for finding out the design load as well as in classifying various columns in short/ intermediate/long.

    A cold joint is a plane of weakness in concrete caused by an interruption or delay in the concreting operations. It occurs when the first batch of concrete has begun to set before the next batch is added, so that the two batches do not intermix.
