Rm/Rc characteristic is 1.02 for sizes below 8 mm
2) b
Agt characteristic is 1.0% for sizes below 8 mm
3) Values of Rc specified are characteristic with p = 0.95
4) Values of Rm/Rc and Agt specified are characteristic with p = 0.90
5) Calculate the values of Rm and Rc using the nominal cross sectional area
6) The absolute maximum permissible value of yield strength is 650 MPa.
