In the context of construction materials, which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?

A
If the characteristic strength is defined as that value below which not more than $50 \%$ results are expected to fall, the target mean strength in mix design will be taken same as the characteristic strength irrespective of the degree of quality control expected at the site.
B
Ten percent fines value is a non-dimensional quantity.
C
The stress-strain curve of concrete for 1-day duration of loading is associated with a smaller secant modulus of elasticity compared to the stress-strain curve of the same concrete for 10-minutes duration of loading.
D
The increase of carbon in steel usually leads to an increase in its $0.2 \%$ proof stress.

Consider a reinforced concrete beam section of 350 mm width and 600 mm depth. The beam is reinforced with the tension steel of $800 \mathrm{~mm}^2$ area at an effective cover of 40 mm . Consider M20 concrete and Fe415 steel. Let the stress block considered for concrete in IS 456:2000 be replaced by an equivalent rectangular stress block, with no change in (a) the area of the stress block, (b) the design strength of concrete (at the strain of 0.0035), and (c) the location of neutral axis at flexural collapse. The ultimate moment of resistance of the beam (in kN.m) is __________ (round off to the nearest integer).

A reinforced concrete beam has a support section with width of 300 mm and effective depth of 500 mm . The support section is reinforced with 3 bars of 20 mm diameter at the tension side. Two-legged vertical stirrups of 10 mm diameter and Fe415 steel at a spacing of 100 mm are provided as shear reinforcement. Assume that there is no possibility of diagonal compression failure at the section.

As per IS 456:2000, the maximum shear resisted by the vertical stirrups (in kN), as per limit state design, is__________ (round off to one decimal place).
