AS
The density of normal weight concrete is taken as 2400 kg/m3 (3.1.3).
The design strength is given in 10.6.2.5(b) by
fcd=α2fc with
α2=1−0.003fc and limits of [0.67:0.85].
The tensile strength is given in 3.1.1.3 by
fct=0.6fc The elastic modulus is given (in MPa) in 3.1.2 as
E=ρ1.5×0.043 fcmi fcmi≤40MPaE=ρ1.5×0.024 fcmi+0.1 fcmi>40MPa This is tabulated in Table 3.1.2.
