RC Design
- Compression/tension forces are ignored if they are less than 1/10000 of (Concrete
Area × Fck).
- Reinforcement is not taken into account since the forces are calculated before design.
SRC Design
- Compression/tension forces are ignored if they are less than 1/10000 of (Steel
Sectional Area × Fy).
- In SRC Design, it is common to design in a way that only the steel section can resist
compression and tension
