Question 43
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
The cross-section of the reinforced concrete beam having an effective depth of 500 mm is shown in the figure (not drawn to scale). The grades of concrete and steel used are M35 and Fe550, respectively. The area of tension reinforcement is 400 mm². It is given that corresponding to 0.2% proof stress, the material safety factor is 1.15 and the yield strain of Fe550 steel is 0.004.
As per IS 456:2000, the limiting depth (in mm, round off to the nearest integer) of the neutral axis measured from the extreme compression fiber, is _____.
