In which beam tension capacity of steel is greater than combined compression capacity of steel and concrete?

In which beam tension capacity of steel is greater than combined compression capacity of steel and concrete? Correct Answer Over-reinforced

Over-reinforced beams have higher tension capacity. So, these beams fail by crushing of compression zone concrete, without any warning.

Permeability in concrete is studied towards providing for, or guarding against, which of the following features? 1. The penetration by materials in solution may adversely affect the durability of concrete; moreover, aggressive liquids 'attack' the concrete. 2. In the case of reinforced concrete, ingress of moisture and air will result in corrosion of steel leading to an increase in the volume of steel, resulting in cracking and swilling of the concrete cover. 3. The moisture penetration depends on permeability and if the concrete can become saturated with water it is less vulnerable to frost action.
