Q1:

A per IS : 1343, total shrinkage for a pretensioned beam, is

A 3.0 x 10-2

B 3.0 x 10-3

C 3.0 x 10-4

D 3.0 x 10-5

E 3.5 x 10-5

ANS:E - 3.5 x 10-5

As per IS 1343, the total shrinkage for a pretensioned beam is typically in the order of 3.0×10^−5. Therefore, the correct option is: 3.0×10^−5
