The modulus of rupture of a normal weight concrete with ultimate compressive strength f'c = 28 MPa is __________ MPa as per NSCP 2015.
ANSWER:
𝑓𝑟 = 0.62𝛾√𝑓′𝑐
𝑓𝑟 = 0.62(1.0)√28
𝑓𝑟 = 3.28𝑀𝑃𝑎 Material stresses exceeding proportional limit is directly proportional to the strain and is governed by principle of Hooke's Law.
ANSWER:
FALSE
In pre-stressed beams with 28th day compressive strength 40 MPa, the allowable concrete compressive stress at mid-span section immediately after load transfer is calculated as ________. The concrete reached 80% of its strength at the time of load transfer. Write your answer in 2 decimal places.
ANSWER:
24MPa
What is the minimum concrete cover in mm for cast and permanently exposed to earth?

75MPa
Calculate the depth of neutral axis for a balanced stress section under principles of Working Stress Design for a rectangular beam 250 mm x 450 mm to be reinforced with flexure bars with bar center 60 mm from the edge of the beam and material strengths f'c = 27 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. Express your answer in mm rounded up to a whole number. 250mm ANSWER: f'c = 27 MPa
What is the minimum concrete cover in mm for cast -in-place members exposed to weather with bars 20 mm in diameter or larger?
ANSWER:
A singly reinforced rectangular beam section 250 mm wide, 450 mm deep is reinforced with 3-25-mm- dia. rebars, grade G420 enclosed with 10-mm-dia. stirrups. What is the design condition of the beam by USD method? Use f'c = 21 MPa
ANSWER:
In flexure design, transition failure is when the steel tensile strain compatible with concrete strain of 0.003 is less than the tensile yield strain and greater than 0.002.
ANSWER:
FALSE

ANSWER:
0.003
The steel tensile strain limit for a tension controlled failure is ___________.
ANSWER:
0.005 A simply supported 12-m span beam, 300-mm wide by 530-mm deep, is pre-stressed by straight tendons with Aps = 774 mm2 located 70 mm from the bottom at an iniitla prestress of 1.10 GPa. Calculate the concrete stress in MPa at the top fiber of the beam at midspan immediately after the tendons are cut. Write your answer in 2 decimal places only. Use unit weight of concrete 24 kN/cu.m. Sign convention is (+) tension, (-) compression. Indicate the sign in your final answer.
