7.3 Minimum Construction Material Properties In evaluating the structural capacity of existing structural
elements
7.3.1 Actual measured or tested properties of materials may be used for elements tested in accordance with
ASTM Standards.
7.3.2 Where testing has not been used to confirm actual properties and there is no sign of structural distress or
deficiency in the subject member, the following minimum properties may generally be used, unless good
engineering judgment indicates lesser properties should be assumed:
7.3.2.1 Reinforced concrete (stone chip)– 15.0 MPa (2200 psi)
7.3.2.2 Reinforced concrete (masonry chip)– 10.4 MPa (1500 psi)
7.3.2.3 Reinforcing steel installed prior to 2004: – 275 MPa (40 ksi)
7.3.2.4 Reinforcing steel installed from 2004 to present: – 415 MPa (60 ksi)
7.3.2.5 A36 Structural steel – 248 MPa (36 ksi) yield strength
7.4 Minimum assumed density of reinforced concrete – 23.6 kN/m3 (150 pcf)
