Solution

The correct option is A Under-reinforced section

Q. Assuming the concrete below the neutral axis to be cracked, the shear stress across the depth of a singly reinforced rectangular beam section

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. When a section is subjected to the limiting moment of resistance then the actual stress in steel of a singly reinforced concrete beam of 200 mm width and 400 mm effective depth, with 4 bars of 16 mm diameter of Fe415 steel is ________
