Modulus of elasticity for concrete (per IS 456):

ANo formula
B10 GPa
CE_c = 5000 √f_ck (MPa) — for M25, E_c = 25 GPa
D100 GPa
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. E_c = 5000 √f_ck (MPa) — for M25, E_c = 25 GPa
IS 456 approximate: E_c = 5000 √f_ck MPa. Short-term modulus. For M25: 25 GPa. Real concrete shows nonlinear, creep, shrinkage behavior — actual modulus varies. Used as approximation in elastic analysis.
