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:

...

  • Maximum strain at the extreme concrete compression fiber is assumed equal to 0.003.

  • Tensile strength of concrete is neglected.

  • The relationship between concrete compressive stress and strain is represented by equivalent rectangular concrete stress distribution method.

  • Concrete stress of 0.85fc' is assumed uniformly distributed over. Equivalent rectangular concrete stress zone bounded by edges of the cross section and a line parallel to the neutral axis located a distance α from the fiber of maximum compressive strain, as calculated by:

body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7Bα = β_1c%7D $$

  • 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.

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.
