A simply supported reinforced concrete beam of length 10 m sags while undergoing shrinkage. Assuming a uniform curvature of 0.004 m-1 along the span, the maximum deflection (in m) of the beam at mid-span is ____________
-
- 0.0005
- 0.0015
- 0.0205
- 0.0215
Correct Option: A
| R = | + | = 250 m | ||
| ψ | 0.04 |
Deflected length
= 249.9995 m
∴ Deflection = 250 – 249.9995 = 0.0005 m
