multiply tabulated values by fy / 60,000 psi.
3. Concrete is assumed to be normal-weight concrete. For lightweight concrete, multiply tabulated values by 1.33.
4. Tabulated values assume bottom cover of less than 12" cast below rebars (Ψt = 1.0).
5. Uncoated rebar must be used.
6. The value of Ktr is assumed to be 0. Refer to ACI 318-19 Section 25.4.2.4, ACI 318-14 Section 25.4.2.3 or ACI 318-11 Section 12.2.3.
