e | Extreme compression fiber strain under the loading specified. |
Maximum Stress Factor, k | Multiplier for the compressive strength, f'c, to obtain the maximum compressive stress, f"c. |
Confinement Factor, g | The confinement factor used to calculate the compressive stress at the ultimate concrete strain. |
Modular Ratio, n | The ratio of the modulus of elasticity of steel (Es) to the modulus of elasticity of concrete (Ec). |
Area | Area of the cross section. |

Mcr Top Mcr Bottom Mcr Right Mcr Left |
The cracking moment for bending about the x and y axes. The Mcr Right corresponds to the right side of the section being in tension, etc. |
Note: Applicable properties are transformed to concrete. |

N.A. Angle | Neutral axis inclination angle measure ccw from the X-axis under the loading specified. |
Icr X, Icr Y | Moments of inertia of the cracked section about the X and Y-axes. |
Po, To | The axial only capacity of the section. Calculated based on a load that causes crushing of the concrete (compression) and/or yielding of the reinforcement (tension, compression). |

Pbx, Pby, Mbx, Mby | The balance points (i.e. transition points) on the Interaction Diagram for Axial-Moment interaction caused by bending about the x and y-axes. |
Note: These extreme points on the Interaction Diagrams are modified by the Strength Reduction Factors (f) when specified |
