4.7. Linear Stress- Strain Relationship for Concrete in Compression When the tension stress exceeds the modulus of rupture, cracks form. If the concrete compression stresses less than approximately 0.5fc and the steel stress has not reached the yield point, both steel and concrete behave elastically. This situation generally happens under service loads. Since the contribution of tension in concrete is negligible in most case, it is assumed that tension cracks have progressed all the way to the neutral axis and that sections plane before bending are plane in the bent member. Therefore, we will assume that concrete tension capacity is zero. c = s( kd h d d- kd s = y b Equilibrium: C=T strains stresses forces kd ) d kd fc 1 kd 3 Cc 2 kd 3 d 1 kd 3 Ts

1 f (kd)b = A f s s 2 c From geometry we have: c = s kd k = s d kd 1 k

for linear stress- strain relationship we have f c = c Ec therefore we have C = T k ) E kdb = A f 1 f (kd)b = 1 E (kd)b = 1 ( c c c s s s 2 2 2 1 k c

75

divide both sides by bd and note = k 1 E k = fs 2 s1 k c divide both sides by s E c and note then we will have: 1k k = n 2 1 k simplify k 2 = 2(1 k)n k 2 + 2nk 2n = 0 solve for k k = simplify 2n 4(n) 2 + 4(2n) 2

fs E = s = n s Ec Ec

k =

+ 2n n

(4.3)

Remember this equation is good only when concrete behaves linearly. The yield moment capacity of the section can be determined by taking moment about steel location: M y = A s fs (d kd) 3 M y = A s fs d(1 k ) 3
