If the load acting in the middle third area or core of the section, then the material experiences only compressive stress without producing tensile stress. i.e. Direct stress is equal to bending stress. Minimum stress is zero, such condition is said to be no tension condition.

$\sigma_{o} = \sigma_{b}$

i.e. $e ≤ \frac{Z}{A}$
