Circular Section Crack Width X Negative

This document provides calculations to estimate crack width in a circular concrete section under tension. Key details include: - The section has a diameter of 1200mm and is subjected to 5000kN of axial tension force. - Reinforcement consists of 23 T40 bars at 134.8mm spacing in the first layer. - Material properties and dimensions are provided for the concrete and steel. - Calculations are shown to determine the moment of inertia, steel stress, concrete strains, and estimated crack width of 0.181mm, which satisfies the design limit of 0.25mm.

Design Info:

Service Axial Tension Force: Ns = 5000.0 kN (+ve for tension)


Service Moment: Ms = 0.0 kNm

Section Diameter Dia= 1200.0 mm

1st layer Reinforcement : 23 T40


2nd layer Reinforcement : 0 T40
Bar Spacing S (straight): 134.80 mm

Concrete Steel
fcu = 40 N/mm2 fy = 460 N/mm2
Ec_s = 28000 N/mm2 Es = 200000 N/mm2
Ec_L = 14000 N/mm2 Cover = 85 mm
Cmin = 50 mm

Cover: Concrete cover to 1st layer reinforcement including links

Crack Width Control Value: 0.25 mm

Computation of Moment Inertia of reinf.

1st layer Center of equivalent reinf. Ring, Rr1= 495 mm


2nd layer Center of equivalent reinf. Ring, Rr2= 455 mm

1st layer Width of [Link], t1= 9.29 mm


2nd layer Width of [Link], t2= 0.00 mm
1st layer Ir1= 3.5412.E+09 mm4
2nd layer Ir2= 0.0000.E+00 mm4
total Ir= 3.5412.E+09 mm4
Zr= 7.1540E+06 mm3

Computation of Crack Width

Section Area Act = 1130973 mm2


1st layer Area of reinf. Ast1= 28903 mm2
2nd layer Area of reinf. Ast2 = 0 mm2
total Ast = 28903 mm2

Dist. to N.A. from top edge x = -17126351 mm

Steel Stress fs= Ns/As+M/Zr = 172.99 N/mm2 <0.8fy, OK


Concrete Strain at consider face: ε1 = (Dia-x)/(Dia-x-Cmin)*fs/Es = 0.000865
Concrete stiffening factor ks = 1.0
(Ks=1.5 if limiting crack width of 0.1mm, otherwise 1.0)
stiffening effect of concrete: ε2 = ksAct((Dia-Cover+Cmin)-x)/(3EsAst(d-x)) = 0.000065
εm = ε1-ε2 = 0.000800
dist. from nearest rebar, acr = {(s/2)2+(Cmin+dia/2)2}0.5-dia/2 = 77.18 mm

Estimated Crack Width, W= 3 acr εm/[1+2(acr-Cmin)/(Dia-x)] = = 0.181 mm OK!
