    This document discusses analyzing compression bars in reinforced concrete. It provides equations to calculate: 1) The depth (a) of the compression block based on the area of steel and concrete strength. 2) The depth (c) of the neutral axis based on the depth (a) of the compression block. 3) Whether the compression bar yields or not based on the ratio of the depth of the neutral axis (d') to the depth of the compression block (a). If the bar yields, d' is set equal to a. Otherwise, additional calculations are done to solve for a.

    Original Description:
