GATE CE 2000 | Singly Reinforced Sections Question 27 | Reinforced Cement Concrete

The working stress method of design specifies the value of modular ratio, $$m = 280/\left( {3{\sigma _{cbc}}} \right),$$ where $${{\sigma _{cbc}}}$$ is the allowable stress in bending compression in concrete. To what extent does the above value of $$'m'$$ make any allowance for the creep of concrete?

No compensation

Full compensation

Partial compensation

The two are unrelated
