  A Study on Stress Block Parameters

  By Manish Kumar Roy

  Abstract: The compressive stress distribution in concrete, when mathematically modeled, can be defined by characteristic parameters known as stress block parameters. There are three such parameters, namely, shape factor, k1, depth factor, k2, and maximum stress factor, k3. There are various shapes of stress blocks, like parabolic, equivalent rectangular, equivalent triangular, and rectangular-parabolic. Various standard codes have adopted an equivalent rectangular stress block, whereas the Indian code has adopted rectangular-parabolic stress …
