Icr = 7367365030 mm
Stresses are calculated for Maximum bending moment
compressive stress in =
3.18 < 13.40 MPa Safe
stress in steel ( σsc) = m*Ms(d-xu)/Icr
234.43 < 347.83 MPa Safe
Crack width
Maximum crack width
where spacing of
bonded reinforcement
with in the tension
zone <= 5*(C+ф/2)
<= 5*(40+16/2)
<= 240 mm
Case 1: Spacing of bonded
reinforcement with in the tension
zone <= 5*(C+ф/2)
0.00 <= 240

bond propoerties k 1 = 0.8 for deformed bars

distribution of strain k 2 = 0.5 for bending
Maximum crack spacing S r,max (3.4c)+(0.425k 1k2ф)/ρp.eff Eqn 12.8
= 298 mm
Ac,eff is effective area of concrete in tension surrounding the reinforcement, of depth
hc,eff, where hceff is lesser of 2.5(h-d), (h-x)/3 or h/2.
hc,eff 120 mm or 227.8 mm or 375 mm
Therefore hc,eff 120 mm
Ac,eff = 120000 mm2
ρρ.eff = As/Ac.eff

Case2 :the spacing of bonded reinforcement
or
No bonded reinforcement with in the tension zone > 5*(C+ф/2)
Actual Spacing = 0.00 < 240 mm

Maximum crack spacing S r,max = 1.3 (d-X U)

Factor dependent on the duration of the load (k t)
