- Consider the beam section shown in the figure, with \( y \) indicating the depth of neutral axis (NA). The section is only subjected to an increasing bending moment. It is given that \( y = 18.75 \, {mm} \), when the section has not yielded at the top and bottom fibres. Further, \( y \) decreases to 5 mm, when the entire section has yielded. The shape factor of the section is ........ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
\begin{center} \includegraphics[width=8cm]{53.png} \end{center} - Consider a reinforced concrete beam section of 300 mm width and 700 mm depth. The beam is reinforced with the tension steel of 2000 mm² area at an effective cover of 50 mm. Concrete in the tension zone is assumed to be cracked. Assume the modular ratio of 12 and Young's modulus of 200 GPa for steel. When the extreme fibre in the compression zone undergoes the strain of 0.0004 due to the applied bending moment, the stress in the steel (in MPa) is ..... (rounded off to the nearest integer).
