While designing, for a steel column of Fe250 grade, a base plate resting on a concrete pedestal of M20 grade, the bearing strength of concrete (in N/mm²) in limit state method of design as per IS:456-2000 is _____________.

1. 9
2. 8
3. 2
4. 12

Correct Option: A

Permissible bearing stress = 0.45 × f_ck
= 0.45 × 20
= 9 N/mm²
