Choose the correct answer
A
the depth of the beam is restricted
B
the breadth of the beam is restricted
C
both breadth and depth are restricted
D
shear is high
Correct Answer
A. the depth of the beam is restricted
Why is this the answer?
Compression steel is added (doubly reinforced) when the depth is restricted and singly-reinforced capacity is insufficient.
