Study Notes
Concrete Compressive Stress
- The permissible compressive stress in concrete is 0.67 fck.
- A partial factor of safety (FOS) of 1.5 is applied.
- The final stress is 0.45 fck.
Design Strength of Concrete
- For design purposes, the compressive strength of concrete is assumed to be 0.67 times the characteristic strength.
- The partial factor of safety of 1.5 must be applied in addition to this.
- Characteristic strength of concrete (fck) is used as a measure of the strength of concrete.
- Characteristic strength of concrete in a real structure is 0.67 fck.
- Design strength of concrete in flexural compression is 0.67 fck / 1.5 which equals 0.45 fck.
