Consider a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete. In a marine environment this bar undergoes uniform corrosion, which leads to deposition of corrosion products on its surface and an increase in apparent volume of the bar. This subjects the surrounding concrete to expansive pressure. As a result, corrosion cracks appear at surface of concrete. Which of the following statement is true?
A
Corrosion causes circumferential tensile stress in concrete and the cracks will be parallel to corroded reinforcing bar.
B
Corrosion causes radial tensile stresses in concrete and cracks will be parallel to corroded reinforcing bar.
C
Corrosion causes circumferential tensile stresses in concrete and cracks will be perpendicular to the direction corroded reinforcing bar.
D
Corrosion causes radial tensile stresses in concrete and cracks will be perpendicular to direction of the corroded reinforcing bar.

Consider two $$RCC$$ beams, $$P$$ and $$Q$$, each having the section $$400$$ $$mm$$ $$ \times \,\,750\,\,mm$$ (effective depth, $$d=750$$ $$mm$$) made with concrete having a $${\tau _{c\max }} = 2.1\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$ For the reinforcement provided and the grade of concrete used, it may be assumed that the $$\,{\tau _c} = 0.75\,\,N/m{m^2}.$$ The design shear in beam $$P$$ is $$400$$ $$kN$$ and in beam $$Q$$ is $$750$$ $$kN.$$ Considering the provisions of $$IS$$ $$456$$-$$2000.$$

Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A
Shear reinforcement should be designed for $$175$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$P$$ and the section for beam $$Q$$ should be revised.
B
Nominal shear reinforcement is required for beam $$P$$ and the shear reinforcement should be designed for $$120$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$Q.$$
C
Shear reinforcement should be designed for $$175$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$P$$ and the shear reinforcement should be designed for $$525$$ $$kN$$ for beam $$Q.$$
D
The sections for both beams $$P$$ and $$Q$$ need to be revised.
