Compression ReinforcementCompression Reinforcement
Change failure mode from compression
to tension. When ρ > ρbal addition of As
strengthens.
Effective reinforcement ratio = (ρ − ρ’)
Compression

allows tension steel to
yield before crushing of
concrete.

Section 1: Section 2:
Addition of A’s strengthens compression zone so that less
concrete is needed to resist a given value of T. NA
