for fck>=50[MPa]
εcu3(‰)=2.6+35[(90-fck)/100]4 - Concrete ultimate compressive strain
εc3(‰)=1.75+0.55(fck-50)/40 - Concrete strain at reaching maximum strength,
λ=0.8-(fck-50)/400 - Factor defining effective height of compression zone (3.20)
η=1.0-(fck-50)/200 - Factor defining effective concrete strength (3.22)
for fck<50[MPa]
εcu3(‰)=3.5
εc3(‰)=1.75
λ=0.8
η=1.0
If the width of compression zone decreases (circular section) in the direction of the extreme
compression fibre, the value ηfcd should be reduced by 10%
For given Pu solve force equilibrium equation by iterating depth of neutral axis (x)
ηfcdAc+Σ(As*(σs-σc))+Pu = 0
From moment equilibrium equation find Mu
Σ(As(σs-σc)(ys-h/2))+ηfcdAc(h/2-yc)+Mu = 0
