Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " =
Maxmum bar spacing " S " =

CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) =
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " =
Modular ratio " a " = (Es/Ec) =
" r " = As/bd =
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (-a.r +((a.r)2 + 2.a.r)0.5.d =
" Z " = d-(x/3) =
Reinforcement stress " fs " = Ms/(As*Z) =
Concrete stress " fc " = (fs*As)/(0.5*b*x) =
Strain at soffit of concrete beam/slab " e1 " = (fs/Es)*(h-x)/(d-x) =
Strain due to stiffening effect of concrete between cracks " e2 " =
e 2 = b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.2 mm
e 2 = 1.5.b.(h-x)2/(3.Es.As.(d-x)) for crack widths of 0.1 mm
e2 =
Average strain for calculation of crack width " e m "= e 1-e 2 =
Calculated crack width, " w " = 3.acr.em/(1+2.(acr-c)/(h-x))
