Question

The average permissible stress in bond for plain bars in tension is

• A. Increased by \(25\%\) for bars in compression zone
• B. Increased by \(60\%\) for bars in compression zone
• C. Decreased by \(25\%\) for bars in compression zone
• D. Decreased by \(60\%\) for bars in compression zone

Hint:

IS 456 provision: \[ \boxed{ \tau_{bd,\;compression} = 1.25\,\tau_{bd,\;tension} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
