<p>The five basic assumptions for flexural design of reinforced concrete members according to CSA A23.3 are: 1) Plane sections remain plane before bending, 2) Material obeys Hooke's law, 3) Stress distribution is linearly elastic, 4) Strain distribution is linearly elastic, 5) The transformed section is valid.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The four stages of flexural behavior for reinforced concrete members are: 1) Elastic stage, where the member behaves elastically and the stress-strain relationship is linear, 2) Yielding stage, where the steel reinforcement starts to yield and the concrete reaches its maximum compressive strength, 3) Post-yield stage, where the steel reinforcement yields further and the concrete undergoes strain hardening, 4) Failure stage, where the member fails due to excessive deformation or load capacity is exceeded.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The two flexural modes of failure for reinforced concrete flexural members are: 1) Flexural compression failure, where the concrete in the compression zone reaches its maximum compressive strength and fails, 2) Flexural tension failure, where the steel reinforcement in the tension zone reaches its yield strength and fails.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The balanced condition in the design of reinforced concrete flexural members is the state where the tension and compression reinforcement are proportioned such that both reach their yield strength simultaneously at failure. This ensures that the member utilizes the full capacity of both reinforcement types.</p> Signup and view all the answers
