The compressive and tensile stresses developed in cracking moments are due to ____________

The compressive and tensile stresses developed in cracking moments are due to ____________ Correct Answer Transverse loads

These compressive stresses are balanced by the tensile stresses developed due to the transverse loads on the beam, so that the resultant stress at the bottom fiber is zero, a further increase in loading results in the development of tensile stresses at the soffit of beam.
