Ec = modulus of elasticity of concrete, psi
Es = modulus of elasticity of reinforcement, psi
fc'= specified compressive strength of concrete, psi
fy = specified yield strength for non-prestressed reinforcement, psi
εt = net tensile strain in the extreme layer of longitudinal tension reinforcement at nominal strength, excluding strains due to effective prestress, creep, shrinkage, and temperature
εty = value of net tensile strain in the extreme layer of longitudinal tension reinforcement used to define a compression-controlled section

Strength Reduction Factor for Combined Moment and Axial Force

Strength reduction factor ϕ shown in section (a) of Table 21.2.1, for a moment, axial force, or combined moment and axial force, are given in ACI Table 21.2.2.

...

An upper ϕ-factor is used for tension-controlled sections than compression-controlled sections because tension-controlled sections have more ductility. Columns with spiral reinforcement are assigned a higher ϕ-factor than columns with other types of transverse reinforcement because spiral columns have greater ductility.

Strength Reduction Factor for Earthquake-Resistant Structures

The value of ϕ for shear is taken as described in ACI 21.2.4 for earthquake-resistant structures with elements in (a), (b), or (c):
