Reinforced concrete: Jonathan Ochshorn's Structural …
where. f y = the yield stress of the steel reinforcement (we will use 60 ksi in all examples). f c ' = the compressive cylinder strength of the concrete (ksi). ρ = the steel ratio, A s /(bd) For given values of f y and f c ', the relationship between R and ρ can be computed from Equation 5.13. Appendix Table A-5.9 gives typical values of R and ρ for f y = 60 ksi, and f …
