Maximum Working Tension in The Section (Serviceability) KN: Calculation For Crack Width For Pilecap

The document calculates the crack width for a pilecap using given parameters like grade of concrete, modulus of elasticity of concrete and steel, yield strength of steel, area of steel provided, effective depth, and spacing of steel. The calculation determines values like depth of neutral axis, tensile stress in reinforcement, strain at different levels, and average steel strain. Using these values and the distance from compression face and nearest bar, the crack width is calculated as 0.186 mm, which is less than the allowable crack width of 0.200 mm, making it safe.

Calculation for crack width for pilecap

Grade of concrete = 40 N/mm2


2
Modulus of elasticity of concrete = 28000 N/mm
Yield strength of seel = 420 N/mm2
2
Modulus of elasticity of Steel = 200000 N/mm
Maximum working tension in the section(serviceability) = 845 kN
Width of pilecap (b) = 1100 mm
Overall depth of pilecap (h) = 1400 mm
Area of steel provided (As) = 4418 mm2
Clear cover to tension steel provided (c) = 100 mm
Diameter of bar provided = 25 mm
Effective depth of slab c/s (d) = 1400-100-25/2 = 1288 mm
Spacing of steel (s) = 100 mm c/c
As per BS8110-2:1985 Design Surface Crack Width
Wcr = 3acrem/(1+2(acr-Cmin)/(h-x))
Where

x = depth of neutral axis. = 331.3 mm


fs = the tensile stress in the reinforcement.
2
=T/Ast = 191.192 N/mm
e1 = Strain at the level considered, calculated ignoring
the stiffening of the concrete in the tension zone.
e1 = (h-x)fs/Es(d-x) = 0.00107
em = average steel strain at the level considered,
e1 - b(h-x)(a-x)/(3EsAs(d-x)) = 0.00057
a = distance from the compression face to the point at
which crack width is being calculated, and = 1400 mm

acr = distance from the point considered to the surface


of the nearest longitudinal bar = 110.6 mm

W cr = Crack width = 0.186 mm

Allowable crack width = 0.200 mm HENCE SAFE
