Rupture is a failure in which a material fails abruptly as we know steel possesses a certain ductility and undergoes some deflection and gives a warning before failure so abrupt failure is not possible in RCC structure.

So, the answer D will be correct.

I think D is the right answer.

Option D is correct.

To provide enough ductility so that beam can't fail in compression (to avoid sudden failure).

The correct answer is to provide enough ductility to the beam.

Shankar said:   7 years ago
Minimum tension steel reinforcement prevent sudden failure.

Hethu said:   7 years ago
Rupture of steel is desirable because it gives prior warning before sudden failure so option B can not be answer. Option D is correct answer.

Niru said:   7 years ago
Yes, the answer is D. I agree.
