Computation of stresses and strains
Distance from extreme-compression fiber to neutral axis, c = ∞ mm
Concrete compressive stress, fc = N/A Mpa
Tension steel reinforcement stress, fs = 106 Mpa
Compression steel reinforcement stress, fs' = 106 Mpa
Strain in concrete, εc = N/A
Strain in tension steel reinforcement, εs = 0.0005305
Evaluation of the maximum crack width
Fracture coefficient, k = 2.10E-05
The strain gradient amplification factor, β = N/A
Maximum stress in the tension steel reinforcement, fs = 106 Mpa
Thickness of cover to the centroid of the reinforcement, dc = 38 mm
Grid index, G1 = 214
Most probable maximum flexural crack width, w = 0.10 mm ACI 224R-01 Eq. (4-21)
Check of the Distribution of Reinforcement
Maximum stress in the tension steel reinforcement, fs = 106 Mpa
clear cover of reinforcement, cc = 20 mm
Max. allowable center-to-center spacing of reinforcement, s = 792 mm ACI 318M-08 Cl. 10.6.4
Actual spacing = 200 mm < smax = 792 mm ✓ O.K.
Therefore, the reinforcement distribution satisfies the ACI 318 code provisions
