Tipos/clases de resistencia de concreto


Explanation:
Las clases o tipos de concreto siempre son de acuerdo a su resistencia mínima a la compresion. Se abrevia F'c, que es su resistencia a la compresión. Hay F'c=100 kg/cm2, F'c=150 kg/cm2, etc.

El acero de refuerzo o "rebar" se mide en F'y o resistencia a la fuerza cortante. Sólo por si te lo encuentras en otra párte de tu documento.

Saludos!
