Resumen
The compensation factors are based on the expected losses due to a concrete resistance below of the nominal value. The factors are calculated for the case when the difference is found on a beam or a column, an edge, central or interior column, and a member in the first or last floors of the building. Compensation factors are proposed for the case when differences between nominal and actual values of concrete strength are found in a reinforced concrete building.
