Question: Answer if the following statements are true or false. ( 3 pt each, 3 9 total ) Tied columns are more reliable than spirally reinforced

Answer if the following statements are true or false. (3pt each, 39 total)
Tied columns are more reliable than spirally reinforced columns. (True/False)
A column can carry a greater bending moment by reducing the axial load on the column.
(True/False)
The torsional moment cannot be reduced in case of primary torsion. (True/False)
The stress caused by torsion may act in the opposite direction with the stress caused by shear.
(True/False)
Columns with large eccentricity will fail primarily by crushing of the concrete. (True/False)
If a beam satisfies the strength limit states, e.g., flexure and shear, the serviceability limit check is
unnecessary. (True/False)
The primary purpose of prestressed concrete design is controlling cracks and deflections
(True/False)
As a result of prestressing, the concrete will be in pre-tension (True/False).
When using pre-tensioning scheme, the prestressing force to the concrete will be mostly transferred
by bond and friction along the strands. (True/False)
Prestressed concrete members can be partially prestressed even though it will cause cracks
limitedly.(True/False)
The slenderness of a column will decrease if high-strength concrete is used.
Hooked bars require a smaller development length. (True/False)
For prestressed concrete, the concrete strength is desired to be lower than typical reinforced
concrete because tendons have much higher strength than typical rebars. (True/False)Indicate if the following statements are True or False: Indicate if the following statements are True or False:
