WSD: Relevance of Plain Concrete Cracking Moment in Singly-Reinforced Rectangular Beam:

In terms of the relevance of plain concrete cracking moment in Singly-Reinforced

Rectangular Beam, is under the service of load condition and tension zone where generally
controlled through the use of reinforcement. Whereas, the reinforced concrete beams are
structural elements that designed to carry transverse external loads. Throughout the loads it
causes bending moment as well as the shear forces for some cases in torsion across the length
and the stresses are expresses less than 0.50f’c. The crack concrete occurs when tensile
stresses in the concrete imposed by loads or restraints conditions that exceeds in tensile
strength and develop larger than the cracking moments, hence the beam will be cracked.
The illustrations show the concrete cracked-elastic stresses stage under
reinforcement in simply rectangular beam
