Creep of concrete under compression is defined as the _________. 

A singly reinforced concrete beam of balanced section is made of M20 grade concrete and Fe415 grade steel bars. The magnitudes of the maximum compressive strain in concrete and the tensile strain in the bars at ultimate state under flexure, as per IS 456 ∶ 2000 are ________, respectively. (round off to four decimal places)

Consider a doubly reinforced RCC beam with the option of using either Fe250 plain bars or Fe500 deformed bars in the compression zone. The modulus of elasticity of steel is 2 × 10⁵ N/mm² . As per IS456 : 2000, in which type(s) of the bars, the stress in the compression steel (f_sc) can reach the design strength (0.87 f_y) at the limit state of collapse?

Consider the fillet-welded lap joint shown in the figure (not to scale). The length of the weld shown is the effective length. The welded surfaces meet at right angle. The weld size is 8 mm, and the permissible stress in the weld is 120 MPa. What is the safe load P (in kN, rounded off to one decimal place) that can be transmitted by this welded joint? ___________
