RC Materials

 

Concrete Design > RC Materials prompts you with the following dialog.  

 

FASTFR~1_img185

 

 

It allows you to define concrete and reinforcement strength properties for the existing materials.  The strength properties include:

Concrete compressive strength fc

Concrete reinforcement strength fy

Concrete stirrup or tie strength fys

 

If standard materials are used in Create > Materials, these strength properties will be set automatically.  You may override these properties prior to performing concrete design.  No concrete design will be performed on a member or shell if its f'c is zero. You should not modify materials that are not concrete on this dialog.
