The modular ratio is a fundamental concept in the working stress method and elastic analysis of reinforced concrete. It allows for the conversion of steel area to an equivalent concrete area to simplify calculations involving composite action.
The constant factor relates stress in the steel with the stress in adjoining concrete is
