glossaryWhat is lever arm?
The lever arm is the distance between the centre of the compression force and the centre of the tension force acting on a section. It is a key parameter in moment capacity calculations. Understanding the strain distribution and stress–strain behaviour of concrete and steel is essential for determining the lever arm.
