*Conversion from concrete cube (fcu) to cylinder strength (f’c) using L’Hermite formula: f’c = 0.76 0.76 + 0.2 log (fcu / 2840) where: fcu fcu in psi exa example: ple:

fcu fcu = 40 40MP MPa a = 58 5801 01..51 51ps psii

therefore:

f’c = 0.822 * fcu = 32.88MPa

Modify Concrete Reinforcement (There are two tabs in the reinforcement reinforcement data dialog box. They are labeled column and beam. Pick the tab that corresponds corresponds to the frame section you are defining.) For beams: input As (area of steel reinf.) at reinforcement overrides for ductile beams for investigation. investigation. Otherwise, leave it at default values, 0 c.
