The variation of the reinforcement ratio of the section from ρ
1
=
3.78% to ρ
3
= 2.68% has little repercussion in the intensity of the
maximum compressive stress, whose values vary from 6.79 MPa
to 6.94 MPa, to the same modulus of elasticity of concrete E
c
. A
reduction of the modulus of elasticity of concrete from E
c
to 0.5.E
c
mobilizes a larger area of the compressive region of the section,
