CRACK WIDTH CALCULATIONS - FLEXURE -

INPUT
fcu= 20 N/mm2
fy= 500 N/mm2
Area of reinforcement " As " = 8800 mm2
b= 1000 mm
h= 1100 mm
d= 1028 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 60 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 100 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 25 mm
" acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 75.57 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 1300.0 KNm

CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 12.0 KN/mm2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm2
Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) = 16.67
" r " = As/bd = 0.009
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a .r +((a.r )2 + 2.a.r )0.5.d = 422 mm

" Z " = d-(x/3) = 887


Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) = 167 N/mm2
Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) = 6.95 N/mm2
Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e 1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) = 0.000932
Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks " e2 " =
e2 = b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.2 mm Used
e2 = 1.5.b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.1 mm n/a
e2 = 0.000144
Average strain for calculation of crack width " em "= e1-e2 = 0.000789

Calculated crack width, " w " = 3.acr.e m/(1+2.(acr-c)/(h-x))
