Question

Assertion (A) : Tensile reinforcement bars of a rectangular beam are bent at suitable places.
Reason (R) : Bent tensile reinforcement bars in a rectangular beam resist bending moment and provide local bond stress

• A. A and R both are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. A and R is true But R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true and R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Answer 1

The correct option is C A is true and R is false

(c)
The shear reinforcement can be provided by bending the longitudinal tensile reinforcement (called bent-up bars). Generally two bars are bent at a section where they are no more required for resisting bending moment
