Element : slab

fcu = 40 N/mm2
fy = 460 N/mm2

B = 1000 mm ( For slab/wall, consider 1000mm width )

D = 400 mm
N.cover( C,tens. face)= 50 mm
N.cover( C,side face)= 0 mm , required for beams only

For slabs &wall only

external = 20
tens = 20 mm T20 - 150 Type I,II,III,IV,V,VI,VII
comp = 20 mm T20 - 150 internal/external face
Tensile reinf. Ast = 2093 mm2
Compr. reinf. Asc = 2093 mm2

Appl.Moment(service) = 65 kN.m

Limiting Crack width= 0.2 mm

Parameters
d = (D-c-tens /2) = 320 mm
d' = (c+comp /2) = 80 mm
Ec = 1/2*(20 + 0.2*fcu) = 14 kN/mm2
m = Es/Ec = 14.3
a = (m - 1)*Asc + m*Ast = 57707
b = 2*B*[(m-1)*Asc*d' + m*Ast*d] = 23585120000
X = {-a + [a2 + b ]1/2 } /B = 106 mm
I1 = B* X3 / 3 = 400968809.3 mm4
I2 = (m -1)*Asc*( X-d' )2 = 19309342 mm4
I3 = m*Ast*( d -X )2 = 1364804849 mm4
I = I1 + I2 + I3 = 1785083001 mm4
fs = BM * ( d - X )*m / I = 111 N/mm2

Crackwidth will be computed at three locations.

Location 1 : corner of section on tension face ( for beams only )

Location 2 : between 2 bars on tension face (for beam & slab )
Location 3 : midway between N.A. and centroid of tension steel on side face ( for beam only)

1at 1& 2 = ( D - X )* fs / [(d - X)*Es ] = 0.000763756

1at 3 = 0.5*fs / Es = 0.000277841

2 2 1/2
acr at 2 = [(bar spacing/2) +(Ct+/2) ] -/2= 86.0 mm
acr at 3 = { (d-a')2 +(Cs+/2)2 }1/2 - /2 = 61.9 mm

C.W.at 1 = 3*acr1 *m1&2 / {1+2*[(acr1 - Ct)/ (D-X)]} = 0.067 mm

C.W.at 2 = 3*acr2 *m1&2 / {1+2*[(acr2 - Ct)/ (D-X)]} = 0.092 mm
C.W.at 3 = 3*acr3 *m3 / {1+2*[(acr3 - Cs)/ (D-X)]} = 0.028 mm

SUMMARY OF RESULT

Allowable maximum c/c spacing between the bars at tensile face = 170 mm
Hence O.K.

Allowable crackwidth = 0.2 mm

Location 1 2 3

Crackwidth 0.067 0.092 0.028 * -ve crackwidth indicates

no cracking in the element
Status no O.K. no
