Spreadsheets To BS 8110etc: Advisory Group Grid Line 1 RC 23-Nov-2020 34 CHG R68

The document provides calculations to determine crack width in concrete according to BS 8110 and BS 8007 standards. It includes inputs like material strengths, reinforcement details, and applied load. Calculations are shown to find parameters like neutral axis depth, stresses, and strains. Based on these, the final calculated crack width is provided.

CRACK WIDTH CALCULATIONS - FLEXURE -

INPUT
fcu= 35 N/mm 2
fy= 500 N/mm 2
Area of reinforcement " As " = 2093 mm 2
b= 1000 mm
h= 250 mm
d= 200 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 40 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 150 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 20 mm
" acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 80.14 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 69.0 KNm

CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 13.5 KN/mm 2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm 2
Modular ratio "  " = (Es/Ec) = 14.81
" " = As/bd = 0.010
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (- +(()2 + 2.)0.5.d = 85 mm

" Z " = d-(x/3) = 172


Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) = 192 N/mm 2
Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) = 9.50 N/mm 2
Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab "" = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) = 0.001375
Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks " 2 " =
2 = b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.2 mm Used
2 = 1.5.b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.1 mm n/a
2 = 0.000189
Average strain for calculation of crack width " m "= 1-2 = 0.001186

Calculated crack width, " w " = 3.acr.m/(1+2.(acr-c)/(h-x))


CALCULATED CRACK WIDTH, 'w' = 0.19 mm
