Question

Consider the following statements:
Percentage of steel for balanced design of a singly reinforced rectangular section by limit state method depends on

1. Characteristic strength of concrete.
2. Yield strength of concrete.
3. Modulus of elasticity of steel.
4. Geometry of the section.
Which of these statements are correct?

• A. 2, 3 and 4
• B. 1, 3 and 4
• C. 1, 2 and 4
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1, 3 and 4

(b) Percentage of steel is dependent on characteristic strength of concrete $\left(f_{ck}\right)$ rather than its yield strength.
