Hello,
I am doing simulation using Finite element for the concrete ,this I found the concrete model for the concrete in euro code as attached in the picture.
But what I don't understand is basically why the peak of the curve is not the Fck (compressive strength), because the curve maximum is fcm(average compressive strength).
So if I need to use the curve ,this doesn't make sense to me
Please anyone clarity this point for me.
The peak should be fck not the average?
Thank you all
