Materials, coefficients, notation

The following notation for material parameters is used:

fck - characteristic strength of concrete in compression
fcd - design strength of concrete in compression
fctk - characteristic strength of concrete in tension
fctd - design strength of concrete in tension
fyk - characteristic strength of steel
fyd - design strength of steel
fctm - design strength of steel in tension

where: αcc=1
αct=1
γc=1,5 - for steel reinforced concrete structures
γc=1,8 - for concrete strustures

The most common notation for geometrical parameters:

b - cross-section width
h - cross-section depth
d - effective depth of cross-section
z - lever arm (arm of internal forces)
