1.0.MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Grade of Concrete,fck = M25 N/mm2

Grade of steel,fy = 415 N/mm2

Modulus of elasticity of steel,Es = 200000 N/mm2 IS 456-2000 Cl.5.6.3

Modulus of elasticity of concrete,Ec = 5000 fck = 25000 N/mm2 IS 456-2000 Cl.6.2.3.1

2.0.SECTION PROPERTIES
C/C distance between two bars = 125 mm.
Diameter of bars,Dia = 12 mm.
Clear cover, Cmin = 50 mm.
Width of the section at the centroid of the tension steel,b = 1000 mm.
Distance from the compression face to the point at which the
crack width is being calculated,a = 350 mm.
Overall depth of the section,h = 350 mm.
Area of steel provided,As = 904.779 mm2.
Permissible crack width = 0.2 mm.

3.0.LOADS
Unfactored moment = 42.7382 kN/m.

4.0.CALCULATION
Effective depth of the section,d = 294 mm.

4.1.Calculation of Neutral axis depth,x

bx2/2 = mAst(d-x)
1000*x^2/2 = 10.99*904.779*(294-x)
500x^2 + 9934.83x - 2920839.5 = 0
Depth of neutral axis,x = 67.139 mm.

4.2. Calculation of Cracked moment of inertia,I cr

Icr = bx3/3 + mAst(d-x)2
= 1000*67.14^3/3+10.98*904.779(294-67.14)^2
= 612184608.55 mm4
