The development length of a deformed reinforcement bar can be expressed as $$\left( {1/k} \right)\left( {\phi {\sigma _s}/{\tau _{bd}}} \right).$$ Fr...

As per $$IS$$ $$456:2000$$ for $$M20$$ grade concrete and plain barsin tension the design bond stress $${\tau _{bd}} = 1.2\,\,MPa.$$ Further, $$IS$$ $...

In the design of a reinforced concrete bean the requirement for bond is not getting satisfied. The economical option to satisfy the requirement for bo...

As per $$IS:$$ $$456$$-$$2000,$$ consider the following statements: $$1.$$ The modular ratio considered in the working stress method depends on the ty...

If $$\phi \, = \,$$ nominal diameter of reinforcing bar, $${f_s}\, = $$ compressive stress in the bar and $${f_{bd}}\, = $$ design bond stress of conc...

Consider a bar of diameter $$'D'$$ embedded in a large concrete block as shown in the adjoining figure, with a pull out force $$P$$ being applied. Let...

Consider the following two statements related to reinforced concrete design, and identify whether they are TRUE/FALSE: $${\rm I}.$$ Curtailment of ba...

A continuous beam $$250\,mm \times 450\,mm$$ carries $$6$$ numbers of $$12$$ $$mm$$ diameter longitudinal bars as shown. The factored shear force at t...
