Som =~ 850 3. oe Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 230 Option 1 : Sea s Reinforced Concrete Structures Question 3 Detailed Solution Explanation: Modular Ratio: (i) In case of working stress method of analysis, the composite section of reinforced concrete is transformed into an equivalent section of single material of concrete. for this, we need to define modular ratio which is the ratio of elastic modulus of steel to concrete. (ii) However, the short term modulus of elasticity of concrete does not take into account the long term effects of creep and shrinkage and thus it is not considered in defining the modular ratio (m). However, partly taking into account the long term effects of creep and shrinkage, Cl.

Thus IS 456:2000 specifies tolerance levels ranging from 0 mm to +10 mmi.e. no reduction in clear cover is permitted but the nominal cover can be increased up to 10 mm. | Exposure | Minimum | Nominal | Conditions | concrete gra: Mild M20 | Moderate M25 Severe M30 Very severe M35 Extreme Mao » Important Points + Nominal cover can be decreased by 5 mm for main reinforcing bars of less than 12mm. diameter. + Nominal cover can be decreased by 5 mm if the concrete grade is M35 or higher.

Itcan occur as a result of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the yield strength of the material.
