Crack Width Calculation for BEAM

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,

As= Area of tension reinforcement


b= width of the section at the centroid of the tension steel
ϵ 1= Strain at the level considered, calculated ignoring of the concrete in the tension zone.
a= Distance from the compression face to the point at which crack width is being calculated
d= Effective Depth

Crack width calculation for BEAM


width of the BEAM, b= 450 mm
Depth of the BEAM, D= 600 mm
DIA OF BAR PROVIDED= 20
NO OF DIA PROVIDED= 6
Area of steel in tension zone Ast= 1884.95559215388 mm2
Clear cover= 25 mm
Effective cover at tension zone= 45 mm
DIA OF BAR PROVIDED= 20 working moment 302
NO OF DIA PROVIDED= 6
Area of steel in compression zone= 1884.95559215388 mm2
Modulus of elasticity for steel= 200000 N/mm2
Effective Depth=d 555 mm

For crack width(Wcr) as per IS 456: 2000, Annex F,

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

Calculation for Depth of Neutral Axis, X

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

ϵm= ϵ1- b(h-x)(a-x)/(3 Es (d-x))

ϵ1= Strain at level based on cracked section analysis


(strain at concrete at the level of steel)
ϵs= (fc/Ec)-My / (Icr x Ec)
ϵs= Strain in longitudinal steel.

Here,
Icr= Moment of inertia for cracked section

Icr= (b x X^3) / 3 + m. Ast(d-x)^2+ (m-1) Asc x (X-d')^2


1000 x 79.14^3/3 + 17.78*753*(309-79.14)^2+(17.78-1)*753*(79.1-41)^2
Icr= 4823902932.04564 mm4

and , y= Distance from NA to the tensile steel location

y d-X= 382.8207 mm

Consedering long term creep,


ϵs = fc/Ec

ϵs = M x Y/(Icr x Єc)
ϵs = 1.20E-04

ϵ 1= ϵs x (a-x)/(d-x)

ϵ 1= 1.51E-04

ϵm= ϵ1- b(h-x)(a-x)/(3 Es (d-x))


0.000847-1000*(300-79.1)(300-79.1)/(3*2*10^5*(259-79.1))
Err:509
0.000889

Crack width, Wcr= 3 acr ϵm


1+2(acr-Cmin)
(h-x)
3x102.08x0.000889/(1+2x(102.08-35)/(300-79.14)

Wcr= 0.169 mm

As crack width, Wcr=0.169mm is less than 0.2mm, Hence safe.
