What is the condition for Beam Failure in the Ultimate-Strength Stage?

fr = Ma

Mc > Ms (correct)

Mc = Ms

Mc < Ms

In the Uncracked Concrete Stage, which condition must hold true?

fr > fca

fb = Mc/Ig

Ma < Mcr (correct)

fc < fs

According to NSCP 2015, what is the modulus of rupture of concrete (fr)?

fr has no relation to fca

fr is linearly related to fb

fr is constant for all stages (correct)

fr = Mc/Ig
