South Mara Hydro Power Project: Kenya Tea Development Agency, KTDA Base MKN 29-Aug-2016

This document provides calculations for crack width in concrete flexure members according to BS8110 and BS8007 standards. It includes inputs like material strengths, reinforcement details, and applied loads. The calculations determine parameters like neutral axis depth, stresses, strains, and result in a calculated crack width of 0.06mm.

CRACK WIDTH CALCULATIONS - FLEXURE -

INPUT
fcu=
25 N/mm2
fy=
460 N/mm2
2
Area of reinforcement " As " =
1005 mm
b=
1000 mm
h= 600 mm
d= 540 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 50 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 200 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 16 mm
" acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 107.60 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 100.0 KNm

CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 12.5 KN/mm2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm2
Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) = 16.00
" r " = As/bd = 0.002
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a.r +((a.r)2 + 2.a.r)0.5.d = 117 mm

" Z " = d-(x/3) = 501


2
Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) = 199 N/mm
Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) = 3.42 N/mm2
Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) = 0.001134
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 = 0.000915
Average strain for calculation of crack width " em "= e1-e2 = 0.000218

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


CALCULATED CRACK WIDTH, 'w' = 0.06 mm
