2.55 Assertion (A) : Under working loads, in a
reinforced concrete beam the lever arm remains
unchanged.
Reason (R) As the bending moment increases,
the total compressive force and tensile force are
assumed to increase in direct proportion.
[ESE : 2003]
2.56 Assertion (A) : Minimum shear reinforcement as
stirrups must be provided in beams, even if the
shear stress 1, is less than the shear strength of
conerete r,
Reason (R) : The bending of beams creates a
tendency in the particles to slide upon each other
with the beam. This tendency is called shear.
[ESE : 2004]
2.57 Assertion (A) : Detailing of bars as per the
requirements of maximum spacing of
reinforcement in beams and slabs is sufficient to
control flexural cracking,
Reason (R): A large number of smaller diameter
bars, well distributed in the tension zone, reduce
the crack width more effectively than a few larger
