What does Youngs Modulus mean?

Youngs modulus is a a measure of elasticity, equal to the ratio of the stress acting on a substance to the strain produced. The coefficient of proportionality is Young's modulus. The higher the modulus, the more stress is needed to create the same amount of strain; an idealized rigid body would have an infinite Young's modulus. Conversely, a very soft material such as a fluid, would deform without force, and would have zero Young's modulus. Rocks with low Young's modulus tend to be ductile and rocks with high Young's modulus tend to be brittle.

What is Longitudinal Reinforcement?

The main purpose of the longitudinal reinforcement (also called main reinforcement) is the absorption of bending tensile stresses in the longitudinal direction of the main support direction of the structural component. The member depth and the longitudinal reinforcement details influence the shear capacity of members without shear reinforcement.
