Question

For limit state of collapse, the partial safety factors recommended by IS 456 : 2000 for estimating the design strength of concrete and reinforcing steel are respectively-

The correct answer is

1.5 and 1.15

This is primarily because concrete is a site-controlled material, and its quality and strength are more susceptible to variations due to factors like mixing, placing, compaction, and curing. Therefore, for estimating the design strength of concrete and reinforcing steel for the limit state of collapse, the partial safety factors recommended by IS 456:2000 are 1.5 and 1.15 respectively.
