MODULAR RATIO (m) =

MAXm MOMENT (Ms) =

4.33 T/m
e1 =(fs/Es)x(D-x)/(d-x)

FROM DIAGRAM,

.( 1 )
b*x*x/2 = m*A

Now, FROM THE METHOD OF THE TRANSFORMED SECTION,

So,
(PUTTING THE VALUE OF b, m , As ,& d )
x=
98.83 mm
fs = Ms/(As*(d-x/3))

###
e1 = 0.0013 mm

FROM THE EQUATION (1) ,

e2 (DUE TO STRAIN HARDENING) =

1.5*b*(D-x)*(a-x)/{3*Es*As*(d-x)}

TAKING,
D=a=
350 mm
SO THERE WILL BE CRACK.
CRACK WIDTH =

e2 =
0.000001 mm
(REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)

3*acr*m/{1+2*(acr-cmin)/(D-x)}

(REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)

(REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)

HERE, m = e1-e2 =

acr = Sqrt[(R/4)+ec]-dia/2

(REF. APPENDIX F OF IS 456)

FROM THE EQUATION (2) ,
CRACK WIDTH =

0.18 mm < 0.2, Hence ok
