The document outlines notations and symbols used in the design strength calculations for flexural members, including parameters such as stress blocks, reinforcement areas, and moment capacities. It specifies the assumptions for the Strength Design Method according to NSCP 2015, including maximum strain limits and concrete stress distribution. Key factors and ratios relevant to the design process are also defined.
