Calculations of Crack Width in Concrete in Flexure: AS PER IS:456-2000 AND IS 3370 (PART 2) : 2009

This document is a spreadsheet calculating crack width in concrete flexural members according to IS:456-2000 and IS 3370 (Part 2): 2009. It analyzes a slab labeled SLAB-S1 with given dimensions, reinforcement details, concrete grade, and applied moment to determine the crack width. The calculations show the crack width is 0.17968 mm when ignoring stiffening effects and is also 0.17968 mm when considering stiffening effects with a 0.2 mm crack width limit, in accordance with the standards. When considering stiffening effects with a 0.1 mm crack width limit, the crack width is greater than 0.1 mm.

SPREADSHEET OF CALCULATIONS OF CRACK WIDTH IN CONCRETE IN FLEXURE


AS PER IS:456-2000 AND IS 3370 (PART 2) : 2009
Calculates crack width in concrete for a given section with details of concrete grade,
type of Steel, and applied loads.

Structural Element Mark SLAB-S1


Characteristic cube strength of Concrete, f ck M 3
Yield Strength of Steel, fy = 3 N/mm2
2
Modulus Elasticity of Concrete Ec = 5000 x SQRT( f ck ) = 2.50E+04 N/mm
Modulus Elasticity of Steel Es = 2.00E+05 N/mm2
Modular Ratio, m, Es/Ec = 8.000

Case: FLEXURE - Section Details of SLAB-S1 Effective depth, 'd', mm = 200


Breadth of Section, 'b', mm = 1000 ρ = Ast / bd = 0.01047
Depth of Section, 'h', mm = 250 Neutral axis depth 'x', mm = 66.79
Area of tension reinforcement, 'Ast', mm2 = 2093 'acr', mm = 80.14
Bar diameter, mm = 20 'Z', mm = 177.74
2
Maximum bar spacing, 'S', mm = 150 Steel Stress, 'fs', N/mm = 185.48
Cover to tension reinforcement, mm = 40 Concrete Stress,'fc',N/mm2= 11.62
Applied Moment at service condn., 'M', kNm = 69.00 Distance 'a', mm 250

Strain at the level considered, 'ε1' = 0.001276


Average Steel Strain at the level considered, 'εm' = 0.001075
Design surface crack width, 'Wcr', mm :
Case: Ignoring stiffening of concrete in tension zone 0.17968 As per IS:456-2000
Case: Considering stiffening effect, 0.2mm limit crack width 0.17968
Ref: IS 3370 (Pt.2):2009
Case: Considering stiffening effect, 0.1mm limit crack width > 0.1mm RCDesignCD
