Question 1

What is the primary purpose of equilibrium in reinforced concrete design?

  • To ensure failure strength
  • To maintain structural stability
  • To limit material usage

💡 Hint: Think about what must be balanced in any structure.

Question 2

True or False: The failure strain in concrete is constant regardless of its compressive strength.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the specific value given for failure strain.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A reinforced concrete beam fails under a specific load. Analyze how the assumptions of bonding and plane sections being maintained could influence the load-bearing capacity of the beam if these assumptions were violated.

💡 Hint: Think about the structural integrity if conditions aren't as they are assumed.

Question 2

Design a simple reinforced concrete beam under the assumption that it maintains equilibrium. If the steel reinforcement's yield strength is doubled, how does this affect the required concrete strength?

💡 Hint: Examine how increased strength of one material affects the performance of another.
