HK CP

The density of normal weight concrete is assumed to be 2400 kg/m3.

The design strength is given in Figure 6.1 by

fcd=0.67fc/γf_{cd}=0.67f_c/ \gamma \\

The tensile strength is given in 12.3.8.4 as

fct=0.36fcf_{ct}=0.36 \sqrt{f_c} \\

but 7.3.6 implies a value of 1MPa should be used at the position of tensile reinforcement.

The elastic modulus is defined in 3.1.5

E=3.46fc+3.21E=3.46 \sqrt{f_c+3.21} \\

The strains are defined as:

εcu\varepsilon_{cu}εax\varepsilon_{ax}εplas\varepsilon_{plas}εmax\varepsilon_{max}εpeak\varepsilon_{peak}
