2Ain- 27 in. 4e9 bars 3 in. 15 in. Figure 4 37) The most effective measure to increase the nominal strength of a beam without sacrificing its ductility is: A. Increasing the amount of tension steel (As) B. Increasing the beam width (b) C. Increasing the ultimate compressive strength of the concrete (fc) D. Increasing the effective depth (d) 38) Which of the following is NOT true about a Tension Controlled Section: A. It is a section where 0.005 B. It has brittle behavior if overloaded C. It has good ductile behavior if overloaded D. It is more economical and avoids reinforcing bars congestion

Solution

37) D. Increasing the effective depth (d)

38) B. It has brittle behaviour if overloaded
