Section 18.4.2c Service Tensile Stress Limit

  • 6 f c is the limiting value.
  • Gross-section, linear-elastic stress calculations are used.
  • For sections with multiple concrete strengths, the minimum concrete strength is used to determine the limiting stress.
  • For sections with multiple concrete strengths, approximate extreme fiber stresses and centroid stresses are reported.
  • No check is made to ensure that the structure is post-tensioned.
