ACI
The density of normal weight concrete is assumed to be 2200 kg/m3.
The design strength is given in 22.2.2.4.1 by
fcd=0.85 fc The tensile strength is given in Equation 9-10 by
fct=0.62fc fct=7.5 fc (US units) The elastic modulus is given in 8.5.1 as
E=4.7 fc E=57000 fc (US units) The strains are defined as:
