Senior Engineering Consultant Interview Questions and Answers

Assumptions in stress block parameters refer to the simplifications made in modeling the stress distribution in concrete beams.

• Assumptions include assuming a rectangular stress block shape for simplicity

• Assuming a linear stress distribution within the stress block

• Neglecting the effects of shear in the stress block

• Assuming a constant value for the compressive stress in the stress block

• These assumptions help simplify the analysis and design process
