Good morning
My name is Rafael Benavides from Mexico.
Im modeling a roof slab with plate elements.
I put the strees contour to see a color diagram of the stresses (Absolut stresses).
In some places it comes out with a strees higher (400 kg/cm2) than the concrete compresion resistance which is 250 kg/cm2.
My question is, this streess, is in the concrete with out considering any rebar?
In this case, the excedent stress is taken by the steel?
If I do concrete design, the software gives me a steel area.
This means, that even though Im getting a much higher stress than concrete resistance, it will be ok, once the rebar is placed?
Thanks for ypur attention.
Regards from Mexico.
