Several mechanical properties are key to the design of reinforced concrete members. The most important property for the ultimate design of concrete structural members is concrete compressive strength. Regarding the serviceability conditions of cracking and deformation, both the modulus of elasticity of concrete and its tensile strength have great importance in the response of a member. Different standards sometimes have different definitions for the same concept, and this can be a handicap for engineers who need to use several regulations. In this article, a comparison of both compressive and tensile strengths, and the modulus of elasticity from two widely used standards, ACI-318 and Eurocode 2, is presented. Data corresponding to three real concrete quality-control campaigns are studied.
