Nominal Bearing Strength
Nominal bearing strength the compressive strength and the ratio of the total surface area to the load bearing area.
Symbol: fp
Measurement: StressUnit: Pa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specified Compressive Strength of Concrete
The specified compressive strength of concrete is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce the size, as opposed to which withstands loads tending to elongate.
