Concrete grade

\[ f'_{c} \]

Unit weight of unreinforced concrete (Table 3.5.1-1)

\[ w_{c}\mathrm{\ [kcf]} = \max(0.145, 0.140 + 0.001(f'_{c}\mathrm{\ [ksi]})) \]

Unit weight of reinforced concrete (Commentary C3.5.1)

\[ \rho = w_{c} + 0.005\mathrm{\ kcf} \]

Young’s modulus (Eq 5.4.2.4-1)

\[ E_{c}\mathrm{\ [ksi]} = 120,000 \times K_{1} \times (w_{c}\mathrm{\ [kcf]})^{2.0} \times (f'_{c}\mathrm{\ [ksi]})^{0.33} \]

Aggregate source correction factor (Cl 5.4.2.4)

\[ K_{1} = 1.0 \]

Coefficient of thermal expasion (Clause 5.4.2.2)

\[ \alpha = 6 \times 10^{-6}/^{\textrm{o}}\mathrm{F} \]

Poisson’s ratio (Clause 5.4.2.5)

\[ \nu = 0.2 \]
