3 acr ϵm
Wcr= 1+2(acr-Cmin)
(h-x)
where,
acr= Distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Cmin= Minimum cover to the longitudinal bar
ϵm= average steel strain at the level considered
h= Overeall depth of the member
x= Depth of neutral axis
where,
ϵm= ϵ1-b(h-x)(a-x)
3EsAs(d-x)
where,
acr= sqrt((S/2)^2+(dc)^2)-db/2
S= Spacing of reinforcement
S= 65.3333333333333 mm
dc = Effective Cover
dc = 45 mm
db= Dia of main reinforcement
db= 20 mm
acr= 69.3312324651801 mm
We have,
(b*X) *X/2+(m-1)*Asc * (X-dc) = mAst*(dm.Ast x (d-x) Eq.1
where,
m= modular ratio= Es/Ec= Constant used for strain compatibility
As per IS:456-2000,
Ec= modulus of Elasticity of Concrete.
Ec=5000 (fck)^0.5/(1+ϴ) (For Long Term)
Where, ϴ= Creep Coeficient
Considering long term Creep, ϴ=1.1, IS456-2000,Cl.6.2.5.1
m= (2x10^5)/(500/(1+1.1)*(25)^0.5
m= 13.33
From Eq.1,
1000*X^2/2+(17.78-1)*753*(X-41)=17.78*1130*(259-X)
On Solving,
X= 172.1793 mm
Calculation for ϵm
Here,
Icr= Moment of inertia for cracked section
y d-X= 382.8207 mm
ϵs = M x Y/(Icr x Єc)
ϵs = 1.20E-04
ϵ 1= ϵs x (a-x)/(d-x)
ϵ 1= 1.51E-04
Wcr= 0.169 mm
