x1 = 0.5 x3 = 0.

From Fig. 3.4.21a:
x5 = x3 +

(xu - x3) = 0.43 xu + 0.75(0.57 xu)

or
x5 = 0.86 xu

The compressive force C1 due to the rectangular stress block is:
C1 = b x3(0.446 fck) = 0.191 b xu fck
(3.7)
The compressive force C2 due to parabolic stress block is:
C2 = b (xu - x3)

(0.446 fck) = 0.17 b xu fck

(3.8)
Adding C1 and C2, we have
C = C1 + C2 = 0.361 b xu fck = 0.36 b xu fck (say)
(3.9)
The non-existent compressive force C3 due to parabolic (concave) stress block
is:
C3 = b (xu - x3)

(0.446 fck) = 0.085 b xu fck

(3.10)
Now, we can get x4 by taking moment of C2 and C3 about the top fibre as follows:
C2(x4) + C3 (x5) = (C2 + C3) (x3 +

xu x3

which gives x4 = 0.64 xu


(3.11)
Similarly, x2 is obtained by taking moment of C1 and C2 about the top fibre as
follows:
C1(x1) + C2(x4) = C(x2)
which gives x2 = 0.4153 xu
