Identify the FALSE statement from the following, pertaining to the design of concrete structures.
A
The assumption of a linear strain profile in flexure is made use of in working stress design, but not in ultimate limit state design.
B
Torsional reinforcement is not required to be provided at the corners of simply supported rectangular slabs, if the corners are free to lift up.
C
A rectangular slab, whose length exceeds twice its width, always behaves as a two way slab, regardless of the support conditions.
D
