The flexural and axial strength of a member calculated by the strength design method, two basic conditions should be satisfied:
equilibrium
compatibility of strains
Equilibrium means balancing of forces acting on the element cross section at nominal strength. Stress-strain relationship for the concrete and the reinforcement at nominal strength is established within the design assumptions described follow:
...
The total forces Cc and Cs resulting from the stresses of concrete and reinforcement are shown below.
