Question

Maximum reinforcement in an RCC beam of dimension b x d shall not exceed ___

• A. 0.06 bd
• B. 0.04 bd
• C. 0.02 bd
• D. 0.08 bd

Hint:

In reinforced concrete design, always check the building codes for maximum reinforcement limits to ensure safe and effective structural design.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

According to design codes, the maximum reinforcement in an RCC beam is typically restricted to 0.04 times the product of the breadth (b) and depth (d) of the beam. This limit is set to ensure the beam does not become over-reinforced, which could result in brittle failure. Hence, the correct answer is 0.04 bd.
