Crack Width Analysis for Concrete Slab

This document calculates crack width in a concrete deck slab with given dimensions, material properties, and reinforcement. It determines: 1) The cracked section moment of inertia and verifies compressive and tensile stresses are safe at the service load level. 2) The maximum crack spacing based on reinforcement spacing and dimensions is 297.9 mm, less than the allowable of 300 mm. 3) The calculated crack width of 0.18219 mm is less than the allowable 0.3 mm, so the cracking is moderate and safe.

Serviceability Limit State(SLS)


Stress Level

Moment of Inertia of
cracked section = bt*xu^3/3+m*As*(d-xu)^2

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)/ρ[Link] 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/[Link]
=

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)

Section in tension, Hence Cracked

>= 0.000586 >=0.6 σ sc / Es


(εsm-εcm) = 0.000612
Wk = Sr,max (εsm-εcm)
