👉Design compressive and tensile strengths according to Eurocode 2💫A. The value of the design compressive strength is defined as:
fcd = αcc*fck/γcwhere:
γc = is the partial safety factor for concrete
αcc = is a coefficient taking into account of long-term effects on the compressive strength and of unfavorable effects resulting from the way the load is applied.
This value is defined in the National Annex of each country.
The recommended value is 1.0.
💫B. The value of the design tensile strength is defined as:
fctd = αct*fctk,0.05/γcwhere:
γc = is the partial safety factor for concrete
αct = is a coefficient taking into account of long term effects on the tensile strength and of unfavorable effects resulting from the way the load is applied.
This value is defined in the National Annex of each country.
The recommended value is 1.0.
