Limit State Method MCQ with answer and solution

Why is the design of over-reinforced RCC section undesirable?

Solution

Concept

Over-reinforced beam

Step-by-step solution

1. Concrete crushes before steel yields. 2. The failure is brittle and without warning.

Explanation

An over-reinforced beam gives no warning before failure.

Why the other options are wrong

Concrete consumption and weight are not the main concerns.

Shortcut

Over-reinforced = sudden failure.

Correct answer: C) It fails suddenly
