Crack Width Calculation for Column

3 acr ϵm
Wcr= 1+2(acr-Cmin)
(h-x)
where,
acr= Distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Cmin= Minimum cover to the longitudinal bar
ϵm= average steel strain at the level considered
h= Overeall depth of the member
x= Depth of neutral axis

where,

ϵm= ϵ1-b(h-x)(a-x)
3EsAs(d-x)
where,

As= Area of tension reinforcement

b= width of the section at the centroid of the tension steel
ϵ1= Strain at the level considered, calculated ignoring of the concrete in the tension zone.
a= Distance from the compression face to the point at which crack width is being calculated
d= Effective Depth

Crack Width Calculation for Column

Width of the column, b= 300 mm
Depth of the colum, D= 450 mm
Area of steel in tension zone= 942 mm2
Clear cover= 50 mm
Effective cover at tension zone= 62.5 mm (35+12/2)
Area of steel in compression zone= 942 mm2
Modulus of elasticity for steel= 2x10^5 N/mm2
Effective Depth=d 387.5 mm

For crack width(Wcr) as per IS 456: 2000, Annex F,

acr= sqrt((S/2)^2+(dc)^2)-db/2

S= Spacing of reinforcement
S= 100 mm
d c= Effective Cover
d c= 62.5 mm
db= Dia of main reinforcement
db= 25 mm
acr= 105.424764150708
Calculation for Depth of Neutral Axis, X

We have,
(b*X) *X/2+(m-1)*Asc * (X-dc) = mAst*(m.Ast x (d-x) Eq.1
where,
m= modular ratio= Es/Ec= Constant used for strain compatibility
As per IS:456-2000,
Ec= modulus of Elasticity of Concrete.
Ec=5000 (fck)^0.5/(1+ϴ) (For Long Term)
Where, ϴ= Creep Coeficient
Considering long term Creep, ϴ=1.1), IS456-2000,Cl.6.2.5.1

m= (2x10^5)/(500/(1+1.1)*(25)^0.5
m= 17.78
From Eq.1,
300*X^2/2+(17.78-1)*1296*(X-62.5)=17.78*1296*(537-X)
On Solving,

X= 188.11 mm

Calculation for ϵm

ϵm= ϵ1- b(h-x)(a-x)/(3 Es (d-x))

ϵ1= Strain at level based on cracked section analysis

(strain at concrete at the level of steel)
ϵs= (fc/Ec)-My / (Icr x Ec)
ϵs= Strain in longitudinal steel.

Here,
Icr= Moment of inertia for cracked section

Icr= (b x X^3) / 3 + m. Ast(d-x)^2+ (m-1) Asc x (X-d')^2

300x 188.11^3/3 + 17.78*1296*(537.5-188.11)^2+(17.78-1)*1296*(188.11-62.5)^2

Icr= 3.82x10^9 mm4

and , y= Distance from NA to the tensile steel location

d-X
537.5-188.11=349.99 mm

Consedering long term creep, ϵs= fc/Ec

ϵs= M x Y/(Icr x Єc)

M= 123.3 KN-m M=(Ƴ*h*h^2/8)

ϵs= 123.3*10^6 * 349.99/(3.82x10^9 * 0.48*5000(30)^0.5)
0.000859

ϵ1= ϵs x (a-x)/(d-x)

ϵ1= 0.000859*(600-188.11)/(537.5-188.11)

0.00101

ϵm= ϵ1- b(h-x)(a-x)/(3 Es (d-x))

0.00101-300*(600-188.11)(600-188.11)/(3*2*10^5*(537.5-188.11))

0.000578

Crack width, Wcr= 3 acr ϵm

1+2(acr-Cmin)
(h-x)
3x105.424x0.000578/(1+2x(105.424-50)/(600-188.11)

Wcr= 0.144 mm

As crack width, Wcr=0.144mm is less than 0.2mm, Hence safe.
