Q: Diagonal tension in a beam
  • A. is maximum at neutral axis
  • B. increases below the neutral axis and decreases above the neutral axis
  • C. decreases below the neutral axis and increases above the neutral axis
  • D. remain same throughout the section
Correct Answer: Option B - Diagonal tension : The tension which is caused in the tensile zone of the beam the to shear, at or near the supports is called as diagonal tension which is caused by shear. • Shear reinforcement is provided in the RCC beams to take up diagonal tension and prevent cracking of beam. • Diagonal tension in a beam is increases below the neutral axis and decreases above the neutral axis.
