concreteproperties.stress_strain_profile.RectangularStressBlock

class RectangularStressBlock(compressive_strength, alpha, gamma, ultimate_strain)

Bases: ConcreteUltimateProfile

Class for a rectangular stress block.

Parameters

• compressive_strength (float) – Concrete compressive strength

• alpha (float) – Factor that modifies the concrete compressive strength

• gamma (float) – Factor that modifies the depth of the stress block

• ultimate_strain (float) – Concrete strain at failure

Methods

get_compressive_strength	Returns the most positive stress.
get_elastic_modulus	Returns the elastic modulus of the stress-strain profile.
get_stress	Returns a stress given a strain.
get_tensile_strength	Returns the most negative stress.
get_ultimate_compressive_strain	Returns the ultimate strain, or largest compressive strain.
get_ultimate_tensile_strain	Returns the largest tensile strain.
get_unique_strains	Returns an ordered list of unique strains.
get_yield_strength	Returns the yield strength of the stress-strain profile.
plot_stress_strain	Plots the stress-strain profile.
print_properties	Prints the stress-strain profile properties to the terminal.
