11. In the construction of a two-span bridge (span length = L) by using span-by-span construction, why is a length of about 1.25L bridge segment is constructed in the first phase of construction?


The space between two parallel horizontal plates kept 6 mm apart is filled with 

crude oil of dynamic viscosity 2.5 kg/ms. If the lower plate is stationary and upper plate 

is pulled with a velocity of 1.25 m/s. determine the shear stress on the lower plate.
