DIAPHRAGM WALL
CHECK FOR CRACK WIDTH AS PER IS 456-2000

BEAMSECTION:-
WIDTH (b) = 1000 mm e1
DEPTH (D)= 600 mm
d-x fs/Es D-x
EFFECTIVE DEPTH (d) = 515 mm d D
CLEAR COVER = 75 mm x
Ast = 2618.0 mm²
GRADE OF CONCRETE (fck ) = 35 fc/Ec
Strain Diagram

ELASTIC MODULUS OF CONCRETE (Ec) = 5000X SQRT(f ck) = 29580.4 N/mm²

ELASTIC MODULUS OF STEEL (Es) = 200000 N/mm²
MODULAR RATIO (m) = 6.761234
m
MAX MOMENT (M s) = 8.54 T/m
BAR DIA = 20 mm
BAR SPACING = 120 mm
FROM DIAGRAM, e1 =(fs/Es)x(D-x)/(d-x) ……………………….( 1 )
Now, FROM THE METHOD OF THE TRANSFORMED SECTION,
So,
b*x*x/2 = m*As*(d-x)
x= 118.48 mm (PUTTING THE VALUE OF b, m , As ,& d )

fs = Ms/(As*(d-x/3)) = 68.561 mm

FROM THE EQUATION (1) ,

e1 = 0.0004 mm

e2 (DUE TO STRAIN HARDENING) = b*(D-x)*(a-x)/{3*Es*As*(d-

x)} TAKING, D=a 600 mm

e2 = 0.000372 < e1
mm
CRACK WIDTH = 3*a cr*ξm/{1+2*(acr-cmin)/(D- (REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456) …. (2)
x)}
HERE, ξm = e1-e2 = 0.000044 (REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)
mm
ec = COVER + (d/2)
ec = 85 mm

acr = Sqrt[(S/2)²+ec²]-dia/2 (REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)

acr = 94 mm

FROM THE EQUATION (2) ,

CRACK WIDTH = 0.01 mm < 0.2, Hence ok
