Near the failure, the actual strain consists of both ¢ and (elastic and inelastic respectively) components of strain. The initial tangent modulus E- in N/mm? is estimated from E, = 5000 /fa (1.2) where f,, = characteristic compressive strength of concrete at 28 days The initial tangent modulus E, is also known as short term static modulus of elasticity of concrete in N/mm‘? and is used to calculate the elastic deflections.RPM Ream rN me er) reinforced concrete with normal weight aggregates of 20 mm Peay uaa Emel Ong en el Cen iteserrE)]Q.2 Standard deviation is proportional to : Oma seule CONV es Cuesta uy (Onesie teat (d) Mean strength Son er)RM Me Amen heuer ene Rca ig eC OReoy OnVEE) (b) M20 (c) M30 (d) M40 [SSC JE 2010]er aeRO MR ce RMN ce este} (a) M10, Onn (c) M20 (nV on}Q.5 For reinforced concrete members totally immersed in sea water, the additional cover thickness recommended by the code is: (Oestil (ei) (c) 35 mm (On) ISiYonn]=i.010)3)}Maer ee Cm Re eC R ur) Pee Sm ne Remnant NaS) Pe a eae Ree Recut RerreeNe ONO ahd (b) M20 and M30 (c) M15 and M25 (a) M25 and M40 sen 013)Q.7 Additional cover thickness is reinforced cement concrete ee ol eR eo (Pao (b) 30 mm (CCM COCR) ton y1)}Q.8 The characteristic strength of concrete in the actual structure is Ce Orn (b) 0.85 fy, (C) 0.87 fx (d) 0.447 fy, [SSC JE 2010]CRIM m MCR Recers ck Nos (a) The direct tensile strength of the concrete.
