    Wcr= (h-x) 3 a ϵ 1+2 (a C) : Crack Width Calculation for Column

    Uploaded by

    Anil kumar R
    This document describes the calculation of crack width (Wcr) for a reinforced concrete column according to IS 456:2000. It provides the formulas to calculate Wcr based on the steel strain (εm) at the level being considered, the distance from that point to the nearest bar (acr), and other section properties. The example then works through the calculations for a given column, determining values like the depth of the neutral axis (X), steel strain (εm), and crack width (Wcr). It finds the crack width is 0.144mm, which is less than the 0.2mm limit, making the column design safe.

    Crack Width Calculation for Column

    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
    ϵ1= 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 Column


    Width of the column, b= 300 mm
    Depth of the colum, D= 450 mm
    Area of steel in tension zone= 942 mm2
    Clear cover= 50 mm
    Effective cover at tension zone= 62.5 mm (35+12/2)
    Area of steel in compression zone= 942 mm2
    Modulus of elasticity for steel= 2x10^5 N/mm2
    Effective Depth=d 387.5 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= 100 mm
    d c= Effective Cover
    d c= 62.5 mm
    db= Dia of main reinforcement
    db= 25 mm
    acr= 105.424764150708
    Calculation for Depth of Neutral Axis, X

    We have,
    (b*X) *X/2+(m-1)*Asc * (X-dc) = mAst*(m.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= 17.78
    From Eq.1,
    300*X^2/2+(17.78-1)*1296*(X-62.5)=17.78*1296*(537-X)
    On Solving,

    X= 188.11 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


    300x 188.11^3/3 + 17.78*1296*(537.5-188.11)^2+(17.78-1)*1296*(188.11-62.5)^2

    Icr= 3.82x10^9 mm4

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


    d-X
    537.5-188.11=349.99 mm

    Consedering long term creep, ϵs= fc/Ec

    ϵs= M x Y/(Icr x Єc)

    M= 123.3 KN-m M=(Ƴ*h*h^2/8)


    ϵs= 123.3*10^6 * 349.99/(3.82x10^9 * 0.48*5000(30)^0.5)
    0.000859

    ϵ1= ϵs x (a-x)/(d-x)

    ϵ1= 0.000859*(600-188.11)/(537.5-188.11)

    0.00101

    ϵm= ϵ1- b(h-x)(a-x)/(3 Es (d-x))


    0.00101-300*(600-188.11)(600-188.11)/(3*2*10^5*(537.5-188.11))

    0.000578

    Crack width, Wcr= 3 acr ϵm


    1+2(acr-Cmin)
    (h-x)
    3x105.424x0.000578/(1+2x(105.424-50)/(600-188.11)

    Wcr= 0.144 mm

    As crack width, Wcr=0.144mm is less than 0.2mm, Hence safe.
