In reinforced concrete, pedestal is defined as a compression member, whose effective length does not exceed its least lateral dimension by Correct Answer 3 times

Explanation:

(i) As per CI. 26.5.3.1(h) of IS 456:2000 defines Pedestal as a compression member when effective length of the compression member is less than 3 times of the least lateral dimension.

(ii) As per CI. 25.1.1 of IS 456:2000 defines column as a compression member when effective length of the compression member exceeds three times the least lateral dimension.

(iii) For Pedestals (le/D < 3), a minimum reinforcement of 0.15% of gross pedestal area is provided.

A concrete member under control compressive load is called pedestal when the ratio of effective length and least lateral dimension does not exceeds.
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.
