WASH WATER STORAGE TANK KWA - VATECH WABAG CRACK WIDTH FOR VERTICAL MOMENT IN WALL

CALCULATIONS FOR CRACK WIDTH FOR BENDING:

FOR WALL (VERTICAL MOMENT DUE TO WATER)
DATA
Grade of concrete = M30 Fck = 30 N/mm2
Grade of steel = Fe415 fy = 415 N/mm2
Bending moment [M] = 31.66 KN-m/m
Area of tension reinforcement [Ast] = 1130 mm2/m
Overall depth of member [h] = 225 mm
Clear cover [Cmin] = 40 mm
Diameter of the bar [F] 12 mm
Effective depth [d] = 179 mm
Width of section [bt] = 1000 mm
modulus of elasticity of the reinforcement [Es] = 200000 N/mm2
Spacing of the bars [S] = 100 mm
modular ratio [m] = 9.33
To find Neutral Axis:
bt * X2/2 = m*Ast(d-X)
500 X2 + 10542.9 X - 1887179.1
X= 51.791 mm
To find Fst:

Fst = M / Ast * ( d- X / 3 )
Fst = 173.231 N/mm2
To find crack width :
(Refer BS 8007 APPENDIX & IS 456:2000 Annexure F)

( h - X )/( d - X ) = ( e1/(Fst / Es))

e1 = ( Fst * ( h-X) )/( Es * ( d - X )

e1 = 0.001179363

e2 = Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks

e2 = 1.5 bt ( h - X ) ( a' - X ) / 3 Es Ast ( d - X ) considering 0.1 mm crack width (cl B 4.3 BS 8007)

a' = Distance from the compressive face to the point at which the crack width is being calculated

a' = 225 mm
e2 = 0.0005217767

Em = Average strain at the level where cracking is being considered

Em = e1 - e2 = 0.000657586
Hence Em: 0.0006575861
Acr = Distance from point considered to the surface of nearest longitudinal bar

Aa2 = ( 0.5 S )2 + ( C + 0.5F )2 = 4616

Aa = 67.9411510059

Acr = Aa - 0.5f = 61.94115101
