PRIMARY DIFFUSION ZONE - Hypotheses and working criteria. (From Y. Guyon Ref. 1)
The force applied by each anchor is diffused within a zone bounded by two planes at 45°. These planes intersect each other at points b, c , d, …, i . The uppermost plane cuts the top face at “a” and the lower plane cuts the lower face at “i”. The stress along this line abcdefghi is irregular. It also marks the boundary of the zone of zero stress, which lies between this line and the end face. We consider the horizontals through these points of intersection. We assume that each anchor is associated with a corresponding prism bounded by the horizontal lines that enclose it. Within these prisms and the in the immediate region of the anchors the primary force redistribution takes place. This gives rise to very high local stresses which need a first group of reinforcement. This primary zone extends approximately to a line “ L” whose abscissas measured from the end face, are twice those of the line abcdefghi. As known, the webs are usually thickened near the support. It is desirable that this thickening is sufficiently extended beyond this line “L”. Within each prism, the line of force extending from the anchor have profiles such as those shown in the Figure.
In the following we shall compute: (A) The surface forces; (B) the bursting forces; (C) the tensile forces in the balancing zone.

Horizontal meshes are also provided.
All these meshes are placed as closely as possible to the anchors.

The compressive force has a maximum value of 176kN, here increased to (176+8)=184kN, to take into account of the closing error of -8kN.
