According to the steel beam theory of doubly reinforced beams

tension is resisted by tension steel
compression is resisted by compression steel
stress in tension steel equals the stress in compression steel
no stress is developed in compression concrete as well as in tension concrete
all the above.

Correct Answer: all the above.

In testing a pile by load test, pile platform is loaded with one and half times the design load and a maximum settlement is noted. The load is gradually removed and the consequent rebound is measured. For a safe pile, the net settlement (i.e. total settlement minus rebound) per tonne of test load should not exceed
