MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

The effective width of a reinforced concrete $$T$$-beam flange under compression, according to $$IS:456$$ - $$1978,$$ given $${l_0}$$ is the distance between the adjacent zero moment points, $$b$$ is the breadth of the rib and $$D$$ is the thickness of the flange, is

$${{{l_0}} \over 6} + b + 6D$$

$${l_0} + 6D$$

$${{{l_0}} \over 6} + 6D$$

$${{{l_0}} \over 6} + b$$

In a reinforced concrete beam-column, the increase in the flexural strength along with the increase in the axial strength occurs

beyond the elastic limit of the material

when the yielding of tension reinforcement governs the strength

when the crushing of the concrete in the compression zone governs the strength

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

The span to depth ratio limit is specified in $$IS:$$ $$456-2000$$ for the reinforced concrete beams, in order to ensure that the

tensile crack width is below a limit

shear failure is avoided

stress in the tension reinforcement is less than the allowable value

deflection of the beam is below a limiting value
