The main circular ring beam in a typical Intze-type overhead water tank, supported on columns placed symmetrically in a circle, is subjected to
Choose the correct answer
shear force and bending moment at the column support
shear force, bending moment and torsional moment at the column support
shear force and bending moment at the mid span between two column supports
shear force, bending moment and torsional moment at the mid span between two column supports
Correct Answer
A. shear force and bending moment at the column support
