Material properties

Concrete

For the standard concrete grades, the characteristic compressive cylindrical strength fck is according to EN 1992-1-1 Table 3.1.

Reinforcing steel

For the standard reinforcing steel grades, the characteristic yield strength fyk is according to EN 1992-1-1 art. 3.2.

Structural steel

For the standard steel grades used for the structural steel, the yield strength fy and tensile strength fu are defined according to the thickness of the element according to EN 1993-1-1 Table 3.1.

Within the material properties the rules for reduction of the yield strength in function of the thickness can be edited. This allows the definition of any custom material with custom thickness reduction.
