DESIGN FOR CRACK WIDTH

Calculation of crack width:


D= 800 mm Clear cover = 50 mm fy = 550

Eff depth= 734 mm db = 32 mm fck = 40


Spacing S = 50 mm Es = 2.00E+05 N/sq mm Ast = 16076.8 sq mm
dc = 66 mm
acr = Distance of the point considered from the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar.
acr = 50 mm bf = 1000 mm

Xu = 534.22 mm Xu max = 337.64 mm

E2= 0.00004

Moment Mu = 800.00 kN-m

Lever arm = 509.6 mm


0.18
Tensile force = 1570 kN

Stress in steel, f = 97.64 N/ sq mm Corresponding strain = 0.00174 (Table-A SP-16)


Max perm stress= 478.50 OK

Strain at level considered E1 = 0.002315


Flexure

E m = E 1-E 2
Em= 0.00228

W= 0.342 mm (Crack width)


N/ sq mm

N/ sq mm
