INPUT
fcu= 30 N/mm

fy= 500 N/mm
2
Area of reinforcement " As " = 2010 mm
2
b =
1000 mm
h = 850 mm
d = 802 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 40 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 100 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 16 mm
" a
cr
" =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 61.3 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 134.7 KNm
CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 13.0 KN/mm
2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm
2
Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) = 15.38
" r " = As/bd =
0.003
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a.r +((a.r)

.d = 194 mm
" Z " = d-(x/3) = 737
Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) = 91 N/mm

Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) =
1.88
N/mm

Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) =
0.000490
Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks " e2 " =
e
