INPUT
fcu= 60 N/mm2
fy= 460 N/mm2
Pile Dia b= 1500 mm
Depth Of Section 1430 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 40 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 155.192118 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 32 mm
" acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 79.69 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 1233.0 KNm
Applied Tension Load "T" = 3100.0 KN
No of Bars for Main Reinforcement = 30.0
Diameter of Stirrups= 12 mm
CALCULATIONS Area Of Reinforcement As = (mm2) 24137.1
Area Of Section = (mm2) 1767857
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 36.4 KN/mm2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 210.0 KN/mm2
Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) = 5.77
" r " = As/bd = 0.011
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a.r +((a.r)2 + 2.a.r)0.5.d = 431 mm
" Z " = d-(x/3) = 1286
Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) + T/As = 168 N/mm2
Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) = 12.56 N/mm2
Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) = 0.000857
Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks " e2 " =
e2 = b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.2 mm Used
e2 = 1.5.b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.1 mm n/a
e2 = 0.000113
Average strain for calculation of crack width " em "= e1-e2 = 0.000744
Calculated crack width, " w " = 3.acr.em/(1+2.(acr-c)/(h-x))
CALCULATED CRACK WIDTH, 'w' = 0.1656 mm
