Calculation of Deflection: Step 1
Calculation of Deflection: Step 1
Calculation of deflection
Step 1: Properties of concrete section
yt = D/2 = 300 mm, Igr = bD3/12 = 300(600)3/12 = 5.4(109) mm4
Step 2: Properties of cracked section
m = Es /Ec = 8.94
Taking moment of the compressive concrete and tensile steel about the neutral
axis (Fig.7.17.5):
300 x2/2 = (8.94)(1256)(550 x) or
x2 + 74.86 x 41171.68 = 0
