Torsion resisting capacity of a given reinforced concrete section:
RCCRCCMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
decreases with decrease in stirrup spacing
B
decreases with increase in longitudinal bars
C
does not depend upon stirrup and longitudinal steels
D
increases with the increase in stirrup and longitudinal steel
Correct Answer
D. increases with the increase in stirrup and longitudinal steel
Why is this the answer?
Torsional resistance in RCC is provided by closed stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement; increasing both improves torsional capacity
