Solution

The correct option is B 9
Crack appear at $f_{c r} = 3.13 = 0.7 \sqrt{f_{c k}}$

$f_{c k} = 20 M P a$

Design compressive strength = $0.45 f_{c k}$

So, design compressive strength $= 9 M P a$

Q. A singly reinforced rectangular concrete beam has a width of 150 mm and an effective depth of 330 mm. The characteristic compressive strength of concrete is 20 MPa and the tensile strength of steel is 415 MPa. Adopt the stress block for concrete as per IS 456-2000 and take the limiting value of depth of neutral axis as 0.48 times the effective depth of the beam for considering as a balanced section. What is the likely approximation for the limiting value of the moment of resistance of the beam?

Q. Steel has proportionality limit of 300 MPa in simple tension. It is subjected to principal stresses of 120 MPa (tensile), 60 MPa (tensile) and 30 MPa (compressive). What is the factor of safety according to maximum shear stress theory?

Q. At a point in a steel member, the major principal stress is 200 MPa (tensile) and the minor principal stress is compressive. If the uniaxial tensile yield stress is 250 MPa, then according to the maximum shear stress theory, the magnitude of the minor principal stress (compressive) at which yielding will commence is
