Straining Actions and Crack Width Calculation

This document provides a calculation of crack width in a reinforced concrete beam member. It includes the input data of material properties, section geometry, and applied load. It then outlines the steps to calculate: the reinforcement ratio, stress concentration factor, neutral axis depth, maximum fiber stress, average strain in reinforcement, and finally the crack width of 0.147824 mm. The calculation is based on formulas developed by Essam Abdou and provides the essential inputs, outputs, and calculation steps in 3 sentences.

CALCULATION OF CRACK WIDTH

(Developed by Essam Abdou) Rev. 1.0


a) input data
1- Straining actions and material properties

Mservice= 3870000 kg.cm

As(prov.)= 32.7 cm2

Es= 2100000 kg/cm2


(reinf.
modulus)

n= 8.5
(modular
ratio)

2- Section properties

t= 150 cm concrete cover (CC)= 7 cm

b= 100 cm bar diameter (bd)= 2.5 cm

d= 141.8 cm bar spacing(bs)= 15 cm

b) output

r= As/(b*d)= 0.002306065

k= (r^2*n^2+2*r*n)^.5-r*n= 0.179364 (neglecting compression reinft.)

kd= 25.433827 cm Fc=Mservice/(d-kd/3)= 29027.45478 kg

ec'=es*(t-kd)/(d-kd)= 0.000452497 es=(Fc/As)/Es= 0.000422709

C=[(cc+bd/2)^2+(bs/2)^2]^.5-bd/2= 9.899552 cm

W(crack width)=3.3*C*ec'= 0.147824 mm
