CrackWidth - Flexure + Tension

The document is a spreadsheet calculating crack width in concrete flexural members according to Indian standards IS:456-2000 and IS 3370 (Pt. 2):2009. It analyzes the section of a wall labeled WALL-W2 with given dimensions, reinforcement details, material properties, and applied loads to determine the design surface crack width. The calculations show the crack width exceeds the 0.1mm limit when accounting for concrete stiffening effects per IS 3370 (Pt. 2):2009.

SPREADSHEET OF CALCULATIONS OF CRACK WIDTH IN CONCRETE IN FLEXURE


+ TENSION 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 WALL-W2


Characteristic cube strength of Concrete, f ck M 3
Yield Strength of Steel, fy = 3 N/mm2
Modulus Elasticity of Concrete Ec = 5000 x SQRT( f ck ) = ####### N/mm2

Modulus Elasticity of Steel Es = ####### N/mm2


Modular Ratio, m, Es/Ec = 8.000

Case: FLEXURE + TENSION - Section Details of WALL-W2


Breadth of Section, 'b', mm = 1000 Effective depth, 'd', mm = 320.0
Depth of Section, 'h', mm = 350 Depth d', mm = 30.0

Area of tension reinforcement, 'As1', mm = 2094 Neutral axis depth 'x', mm = 66.456
Bar diameter of tension reinforcement, mm = 20 'acr', mm = 70.78
Area of compression reinf't, 'As2', mm2 = 2094 'Z', mm = 297.85
Bar dia. of compression reinforcement, mm = 20 Steel Stress, 'fs', N/mm2= 296.61
Maximum bar spacing, 'S', mm = 150 Concrete Stress,'fc',N/mm2= 9.598
Cover to tension reinforcement, mm = 20 Distance 'a', mm 350
Applied Moment at service condn.,'M', kNm = 150.00
Applied Tension at service condn.'N', kN = 225.00
Strain at the level considered, 'ε1' = 0.001659
Average Steel Strain at the level considered, 'εm' = 0.001406
Design surface crack width, 'Wcr', mm :
Case: Ignoring stiffening of concrete in tension zone 0.21984 As per IS:456-2000
RCDesignCD

Case: Considering stiffening effect, 0.2mm limit crack width > 0.2mm
Ref: IS 3370 (Pt.2):2009
Case: Considering stiffening effect, 0.1mm limit crack width > 0.1mm
