Q. For cement concrete, the stress-strain curve is approximately linear upto

A
3/4 of ultimate stress
B
5/8 of ultimate stress
C
1/2 of ultimate stress
D
1/3 of ultimate stress
Solution:
  • Initially, all stress strain curves are fairly straight; stress and strain are proportional.
  • With this stage, the material should be able to retain its original shape if the load is removed.
  • The elastic range of concrete stress – strain curve continues up to 0.45fc? (maximum concrete compressive strength).
  • It is half of the ultimate stress.
