Engineering limit state and damage state prediction.

(g)	EDP	Engineering limit state	Damage state
0.08		Concrete cover cracking onset	Negligible
0.10	;	No or slight compressive damage	Negligible
0.32		Concrete cover spalling onset	Light
0.36		Plastic hinge initiating	Light
0.59		Concrete core crushing onset	Moderate
0.65		Steel bar yielding	Moderate
