Materials, Coefficients, Notation
The following notation for material parameters is used:
fck | - | characteristic compressive strength of concrete |
fcd | - | design compressive strength of concrete |
fctk | - | characteristic tensile strength of concrete |
fctd | - | design tensile strength of concrete |
fyk | - | characteristic tensile strength of steel bar |
fyd | - | Bemessungsfestigkeit von Stahl |
fctm | - | mean tensile strength of steel bar |
where: | αcc = 1 | ||
αct = 1 | |||
γc = 1.5 | - | for reinforced concrete structures | |
γc = 1.8 | - | for concrete strustures |
The most common notation for geometrical parameters:
where: | b | - | cross-section width |
h | - | cross-section depth | |
d | - | effective depth of cross-section | |
z | - | lever arm (arm of internal forces) |
