Moment of resistance of an uncracked T-section in bending at the SLS, Mct,ser

Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete sections  Method b7

The moment of resistance of an uncracked T-section in bending at the SLS is calculated according to method b7.

The parameters needed for the design are the followings:

Es
is the design value of the modulus of elasticity of the reinforcing steel, see § 3.2.7 (4);
Ec,eff
is the effective modulus of elasticity of concrete;
fct,eff
is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur:
fct,eff = fctm or lower, (fctm(t)), if cracking is expected earlier than 28 days;
Asc
is the cross sectional area of the compression reinforcement;
As
is the cross sectional area of the tensile reinforcement;
bw
is the web width of the T-section;
beff
is the flange width of the T-section;
hf
is the flange height of the T-section;
h
is the height of the T-section;
d
is the effective depth of the T-section;
d'
is the distance from the external compressive concrete to the centre of gravity of the compression steel;

This application calculates the moment of resistance Mct,ser from your inputs. Intermediate results will also be given.
