"The concrete used in structures is characterized by its resistance, the fck."
I haven´t found what "fck" actually stands for. It looks a bit German to me...

Reference: MPa

Reference information:
mega-Pascal. Pascal is the SI unit for pressure (Newton/square meter)
1 Bar (or older Atmosphere) is equal to 100,000 Pascal.
For Fck I guess is the cracking pressure/force (only a guess)
