Question:
Maximum longitudinal reinforcement in columns shall not exceed ___
Maximum longitudinal reinforcement in columns shall not exceed ___
Show Hint
When designing columns, always refer to design codes to ensure reinforcement limits are not exceeded for safety.

- 6% of effective sectional area
- 4% of gross sectional area
- 6% of gross sectional area
- 4% of effective area
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The maximum longitudinal reinforcement in a column is limited to prevent over-reinforcement, which could lead to brittle failure. According to design codes, the maximum allowable reinforcement is 6% of the gross sectional area, which includes both the concrete and reinforcement areas. Hence, the correct answer is 6% of gross sectional area.
