Crack Width Estimation

The document provides information to estimate crack width in concrete, including the concrete strength, modulus of elasticity, reinforcement details, and calculates the depth of the neutral axis based on these parameters. It determines the concrete has a strength of 40 MPa, modulus of elasticity of 28 GPa. The reinforcement has a modulus of 200 GPa. Based on the provided dimensions and reinforcement area, it calculates the modular ratio and estimates the depth of the neutral axis to be 41.25 mm.

Crack Width Estimation

Characteristic strength of concrete, fcu,28 = 40 N/mm2

From BS 8110: Part 2: 1985 - Table 7.2,


Mean static modulus of elasticity for G40 concrete, Ec,28 = 28 kN/mm2

By assuming,
Mean static modulus of elasticity for
high-yield deformed bars, Es = 200 kN/mm2

Modular ratio, ae = Es / (Ec/2)


= 14.28571 (includes allowance for creep)

Width of concrete, b = 1000 mm


Effective depth of concrete, d = 375 mm
Reinforcement provided, As,prov = 863.9 mm2/m (BRC DA10)

Therefore,
Equation ae (As/bd) = 0.03291

From Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook - Figure 4.29,


Depth of neutral axis, x ≈ 0.11d
≈ 41.25 mm
