Question 1

Assertion (A): Losses in prestress in pre-tensioned beams are more than the losses in post-tensioned beams.
Reason (R): This is partially due to the effect of elastic shortening.

Question 2

At the time of initial tensioning, the maximum tensile stress immediately behind the anchorage should not exceed which one of the following?

Question 3

Which one of the following is correct for horizontal spacing between the group of prestressing cables as per IS code?

Question 4

For a rectangular prestressed beam designed for operating stress conditions, what is the maximum prestressing force?

Question 5

Consider the following statements:
The shear resistance of structural concrete members may be improved by:
1) Axial prestressing
2) Vertical prestressing
3) Inclined prestressing
Which of these statements is/are correct?

Question 6

Prestressed concrete member posses better resistance to shear forces due to effect of

Question 7

Why is the design of a RC section as over-reinforced undesirable?

Question 8

What is the moment capacity of an under-reinforced rectangular RCC beam?

Question 9

Assertion (A): The behaviour of an over-reinforced beam is more ductile than that of under reinforced beam.
Reason (R): Over-reinforced beam contains more steel and steel is more ductile than concrete.

Question 10

The distance between the centroid of the area of tension reinforcement and the maximum compressive fibre in a reinforced concrete beam design is known as
