Concrete Technology & RCCEffective spanMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Clear span plus effective depth and centre-to-centre support distance
B
Only centre-to-centre of supports
C
Clear span and overall depth
D
Overall length and support width
Correct Answer
A. Clear span plus effective depth and centre-to-centre support distance
Why is this the answer?
IS 456 defines effective span using clear span plus effective depth, limited by centre-to-centre support distance. Reference: Clause 22.2 | Page: verify from your official BIS copy/PDF pagination
