The working stress method of design specifies the value of modular ratio, $$m = 280/\left( {3{\sigma _{cbc}}} \right),$$ where $${{\sigma _{cbc}}}$$ is the allowable stress in bending compression in concrete. To what extent does the above value of $$'m'$$ make any allowance for the creep of concrete?
A
No compensation
B
Full compensation
C
Partial compensation
D
The two are unrelated

A continuous beam $$250\,mm \times 450\,mm$$ carries $$6$$ numbers of $$12$$ $$mm$$ diameter longitudinal bars as shown. The factored shear force at the point of inflection is $$200$$ $$kN.$$ Check if the beam is safe in bond. Assume $$M15$$ mix with $${\sigma _{ck}} = 15\,\,N/m{m^2}$$ and mild steel with $${\sigma _y} = 250\,N/m{m^2}.$$ A clear cover of $$25$$ $$mm$$ can be assumed. The design bond stress for mild steel bars in $$M15$$ concrete is specified to be $$1.0\,N/m{m^2}.$$ GATE CE 2000 Reinforced Cement Concrete - Bond Question 1 English
