    In the regions of a positive moment, a portion of the slab works with the beam (both under compression force), so that part should be included in the beam design. However, negative moments develop cracks at the upper part of the beam. So, the cracked part of the concrete section is neglected in theRead more

    In the regions of a positive moment, a portion of the slab works with the beam (both under compression force), so that part should be included in the beam design. However, negative moments develop cracks at the upper part of the beam. So, the cracked part of the concrete section is neglected in the design, and the lower portion is in compression which is rectangular.

Why shrinkage is more in the Singly Reinforced section as compare to doubly Reinforced Section in RCC? Please give a detailed reason for what happens due to the uneven Distribution of Steel bars in the RCC section.

    Analyzing the problem from a theoretical point of view, “Shrinkage” essentially means that the concrete is trying to shrink which is on account of the chemical interaction between various constituents of concrete like cement, water and aggregates. Now providing reinforcement steel in a way holds the concrete together by way of restraining it and hence reduces the shrinkage.

    Also, Shrinkage and temperature cracks have reasonably comparable behaviour.

    Let us take a formula based approach to understand the relationship between shrinkage or temperature or shrinkage cracks and the reinforcement provided.

    As per Cl. A-1.4, IS 3370 Part-II,

    Smax = (Fct/Fb) x D / (2 x SR)

    And

    Wmax = Smax x Alpha x (T1+T2) x 0.5

    Wmax is the crack width, which is quantity of interest here

    From the above, we can deduce that all other variables being made constant valued,

    Wmax is directly proportional to Smax.

    Smax is inversely proportional to SR

    It implies Wmax is inversely proportional to SR

    So, if we want lesser shrinkage/temperature cracks, we have to increase this variable SR.

    Now, this SR = Steel ratio = Percentage of steel provided / 100

    Therefore, it is clear that, if we provide greater reinforcement, SR increases, Smax increases and Wmax decreases.

    Since singly reinforced section has less reinforcement steel than a doubly reinforced section, shrinkage/temperature cracking is more in a singly reinforced section.
