According to me, question is insufficient because the loading condition is not given that is it a simply supported of cantilever.

As, I think top fibre is the most suitable answer.

May be:.

"When a rectangular beam is loaded transversely".

Load = rectangular beam.

Rectangular beam is made to load transversely (vertically) on a surface (longitudinal axis).

Then "the maximum compressive stress is developed on the [A]. Bottom layer".

There is no clarity in question, here it should mention which type of beam is loaded.

For cantilever beam "bottom layer".

For ss beam "top layer".

Umesh said:   9 years ago
That is apply for only cantelever beam.

Pavankumar said:   9 years ago
I think the answer for the maximum compressive stress is developed on the top layer of the beam.

Not cleared with this question, Please explain me detailed.

Krishna said:   9 years ago
The correct answer is option A.

Hasiba said:   9 years ago
I think, option A is the answer.

Vicky said:   9 years ago
The answer is A.

It's just like turning the pages in a book, where the bottom layer compresses and the top layer expands.
