* ALL SECTIONS ARE CHECKED WITHOUT THE AXIAL FORCE ITSELF
Material properties
Conc. Strength, fc = 60 N/mm2
Re-bar steel strength, fs = 460 N/mm2
Concrete modulus,Ec = 16 kN/mm2
Re-bar steel modulus.Es = 200 kN/mm2

Beam/ Slab Section properties

Breadth,b = 1400 mm
Depth,D = 300 mm
Effective depth,d = 250 mm
Clear cover,cmin = 50 mm
Dia of the Tension Re-bars = 13 mm
No of bars provided = 8 NOS
Tension Reinf. Provided = 1061.8608 mm2
Spacing of the Tension re-bars = 250 mm

Service moment = 40 kNm

Calculations
Modular ratio, e = 25
b/2 = 700 mm
e * As = 26546.52 mm2
- e * As * d = -6636630 mm3
Neutral axis,x (FROM TOP) = 81 mm
x/d ratio = 0.324
k = 0.0114286
z = 246.78403 mm

Avg stress @ Tension reinf. = 152.64246 N/mm2

= STEEL STRESS IS O.K.
Strain @ tension reinf, s = 0.0007632
Strain @ bottom ext. fibre, h = 0.000989
Avg strain @ level considered, mh = 0.0003654

Maximum crack width calculation @ midway between bars

am = 235 mm
maximum crack width, wm = 0.0957847 mm
Limiting crack width value,wlim = 0.2 mm
CRACK WIDTH CHECK IS O.K.
