  1. The live load and dead load in a three storeyed residential building, transferred through a single column, is 12 tons and 18 tons respectively. If the soil bearing capacity is 10 ton/sqm and the factor of safety is 1.5, the area of column footing is _____________ sqm (up to one decimal place).

    4.0 to 5.0
    Given, Live load = 12 ton. Dead load = 18 ton.
    Total load = 30 ton.
    Factor of Safety = 1.5.
    Thus, Factored total load = Factor of Safety × Total Load = 1.5 × 30 = 45 ton.
    Soil bearing capacity is 10 ton/m².
    Area of Column footing

    Tomb of Ghiyassudin Tughlaq is a square structure planned as a fort with irregular pentagonal shape that responds to the contours of the hillock. The red sandstone and white marble, for instance, was an important feature of 14th century architecture of the Delhi Sultanate, which was later emulated in Mughal architecture.


    Tomb of Sher Shah Surhas Octagonal planat the ground level and the drum is recessed giving an allusion to multiple storeys. It drew inspiration from the Lodhi and Sayyid tombs at New Delhi, most of which had octagonal plans.

    Akbar's tomb at Sikandara built largely in red sandstone has an impressive gateway with four marble minarets at the four corners.

    Humayun's tomb in New Delhi has Persian influences. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum) in 1569- 70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad, Persian architects. It is also the first Indian structure to incorporate the Persian double dome that is 42.5 metres high where the outer structure supports the marble exterior and the inner one leads into the interiors.
