And please explain to me for the size effect?
What does material non-random strength (f_t) mean?

SUMMARY
Material non-random strength (f_t) refers to a fixed, absolute value of strength that does not vary, contrasting with random strength characteristics. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the size effect on structural strength, which indicates that the strength of materials can change based on their size. This concept is crucial for engineers and material scientists when designing structures to ensure reliability and safety.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of material science principles
- Familiarity with structural engineering concepts
- Knowledge of strength of materials
- Basic grasp of statistical methods in material testing

Non-random ( somewhat the opposite of random in this case but not necessarily ).
Non-random strength of a material would mean that it is fixed, never varying, an absolute value.
