Spanish term or phrase: f´c 40 MPa
The context here is reinforced concrete specification and the phrase (occuring in a list) is "concreto frabricado in situ f´c 40 MPa." This looks like it may be something to do with cubic flow? Best wishes. Sian.

English translation:f'c 40 Mpa / f'c 6000 psi
Explanation:
f'c is the international symbol used for the specified concrete compressive strength. Mpa is the unit used for this magnitude in the metric system (SI), the imperial uses psi (pounds per square inch), so you will have to decide which one to use depending on your target audience. 40 Mpa is equivalent to 6000 psi (not exactly but used like that in this context)
