"ultimate torque of reinforced concrete"

.. the torsional strength of a properly reinforced beam is independent of the concrete strength, provided the beam is torsionally under-reinforced; that is, the longitudinal reinforcement and the links reach yield before the ultimate torque is reached;

Ultimate Torque (Tuo) is defined as the peak value of the torsional moment sustained by the test beam.
