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

  1. equilibrium

  2. 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.
