Nominal flexural strength Mn is calculated based on the following Design Assumptions. Acconrding to Codes, design strength of a section is ϕMn.calculated

Design assumptions

The flexural and axial strength of a member calculated by the strength design method, two basic conditions should be satisfied:

...

  • The distance between the fiber of maximum compressive stress and the neutral axis, c, is perpendicular to the neutral axis.

  • The value of β1 is determined using ACI Table 22.2.2.4.3 Codes.

...

Nominal flexural strength Mn is calculated as shown below.

...

Nominal flexural strength Mn:

...

Acconrding to ACI 22.1.3, design strength of a section is taken as the nominal strength multiplied by the applicable strength reduction factor ϕ. Therefore, the design force is ϕMn.

The difference between Design Strength ϕMn and Nominal Strength Mn is indicated in the figure below.
