GATE CE 2022 CE Q14: Concrete Structures

Read the following statements relating to flexure of reinforced concrete beams:

I. In over-reinforced sections, the failure strain in concrete reaches earlier than the yield strain in steel.

II. In under-reinforced sections, steel reaches yielding at a load lower than the load at which the concrete reaches failure strain.

III. Over-reinforced beams are recommended in practice as compared to the under-reinforced beams.

IV. In balanced sections, the concrete reaches failure strain earlier than the yield strain in tensile steel.

Each of the above statements is either True or False.
