Flexural Stress

The equivalent rectangular concrete stress distribution


has what is known as a b1 coefficient is proportion of
average stress distribution covers. (ACI 10.2.7.3)
b1  0.85 for f c  4000 p si

USCU
 f c  4000 
b1  0.85  0.05 *    0.65
 1000
 

SI Units
b1 = 0.85 for f’c < 30 Mpa
b1 = 0.85-.05 [f’c-7] >= 0.65
