    This document provides calculations to determine the crack width in reinforced concrete based on input parameters like concrete compressive strength, steel yield strength, reinforcement area and geometry of the concrete cross-section. It calculates values like neutral axis depth, reinforcement stress, concrete stress, strains and the resulting crack width of 0.17 mm, which is within the acceptable limit. The document also includes notes on limitations of use and revision history of the calculation spreadsheet.

    CRACK WIDTH CALCULATIONS - FLEXURE -

    INPUT
    fcu= 35 N/mm2
    fy= 460 N/mm2
    Area of reinforcement " As " = 676 mm2
    b= 1000 mm
    h= 150 mm
    d= 112 mm
    Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 25 mm
    Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 200 mm
    Bar dia " DIA " = 6 mm
    " acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 100.8 mm
    "acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
    Applied service moment " Ms "= 15.5 KNm

    CALCULATIONS
    moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 13.5 KN/mm2
    moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm2
    Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) = 14.81
    " r " = As/bd = 0.006
    depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a.r +((a.r)2 + 2.a.r)0.5.d = 38 mm

    " Z " = d-(x/3) = 99


    Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) = 231 N/mm2
    Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) = 8.14 N/mm2
    Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) = 0.001752
    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) /(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.1 mm
    2
    n/a
    e2 = 0.000417
    Average strain for calculation of crack width " em "= e1-e2 = 0.001335

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