Stress strain diagram

Stress strain curve for concrete :

Fore ways of defining the modulus of elasticity

The slop of a line that is tangent to point on Stress strain curve call Tangent
modulus of elasticity .
The slop of the Stress strain curve at the origin is the call initial Tangent modulus
of elasticity.
The secant modulus of elasticity at a given stress is the slop of a line through the
origin and through the point on the curve represent that stress .
Modulus of elasticity of concrete using SBC 304 Formula for normal weight concrete

Proportional Limit

From the origin O to the point called proportional limit, the stress-strain curve is a straight
line

Elastic Limit

The elastic limit is the limit beyond which the material will no longer go back to its original
shape when the load is remove .

Elastic and Plastic Ranges

The region in stress-strain diagram from O to P is called the elastic range. The region from P
to R is called the plastic range

Yield Point

Yield point is the point at which the material will have an appreciable elongation or yielding
without any increase in load

Ultimate Strength

The maximum ordinate in the stress-strain diagram is the ultimate strength or tensile
strength.

Rapture Strength

Rapture strength is the strength of the material at rupture. This is also known as the
breaking strength
