Solution

The correct option is C 0.447
The compressive strength of concrete in the structure shall be assumed to be 0.67 times the characteristic strength. The partial safety factor of 1.5 shall be applied in addition to this.
Thus stress in concrete at collapse
$= \frac{0.67}{1.5} f_{c k} = 0.447 f_{c k}$
