The 4th and 5th dimension of Building Information Modelling (BIM) are _________ and _________, respectively.

For the beam shown below, ignoring the self-weight, the maximum hogging moment (in kN·m) generated for the loads indicated is _______ (rounded off to one decimal place).

A 5 m long Aluminium tie rod of cross-section 0.20 m × 0.04 m is subjected to a tensile force induced by its self-weight of 21.20 kg/m considering gravitational acceleration of 10 \(m/s^2\). If tensile Young's modulus of Aluminium is 70,000 MPa, the maximum tensile strain in the rod is______   \(\times \,10^{-6}\) (rounded off to two decimal places).

The following Figure shows the excavation plan of a two room structure, where the trench has a uniform width of 1.10 meters. If the cumulative centre line length of the trench is 41.10 meters and the required depth of concrete to be poured is 0.30 meters, the volume of concrete in foundation, in cubic meters, will be _______(rounded off to two decimal places).

A steel wire of 5.65 mm diameter and 50 m length is used for a hoisting crane. The wire is used to vertically lift a weight of 200 kg attached to its lowest end. Assume the Young's Modulus of Elasticity of Steel as \(2 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/mm}^2\) and gravitational acceleration as \(10 \, \text{m/sec}^2\). The elongation of the steel wire (in mm) will be ............ [rounded off to two decimal places].

A simply supported RCC beam of span 4 m is supporting a brick wall over its entire span. The brick wall is 250 mm thick and 2 m high. The RCC beam has a depth of 600 mm and width of 250 mm. The density of brick masonry and RCC can be assumed as \(18 \, \text{kN/m}^3\) and \(25 \, \text{kN/m}^3\) respectively. Considering the load of the wall and self-weight of the RCC beam, the maximum bending moment in the beam (in kN-m) will be ......... [rounded off to two decimal places]. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{08.jpeg} \end{center}
