Tensile Stress in Steel for Axial-Load Capacity of Short Rectangular Members Formula Elements

Variables
Steel Tensile Stress
Steel Tensile Stress is defined as the stress in the steel under tension.
Symbol: fs
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete
The 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is the average compressive strength of concrete specimens that have been cured for 28 days.
Symbol: f'c
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Width of Compression Face
Width of Compression Face is the measurement or extent of something from side to side.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth Rectangular Compressive Stress
Depth Rectangular Compressive Stress is defined as the depth of equivalent rectangular compressive-stress distribution, in(mm).
Symbol: a
