How to Evaluate Average Strain under Tension?

Average Strain under Tension evaluator uses Average Strain = Strain at Selected Level-(Crack Width*(Height of Crack-Depth of Neutral Axis)*(Distance from Compression to Crack Width-Depth of Neutral Axis))/(3*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement*Area of Reinforcement*(Effective Length-Depth of Neutral Axis)) to evaluate the Average Strain, The Average Strain under Tension is defined as a relative displacement. Initial, The definition of strain is simple but at the same time is non-unique. Average Strain is denoted by εm symbol.

FAQs on Average Strain under Tension

What is the formula to find Average Strain under Tension?
The formula of Average Strain under Tension is expressed as Average Strain = Strain at Selected Level-(Crack Width*(Height of Crack-Depth of Neutral Axis)*(Distance from Compression to Crack Width-Depth of Neutral Axis))/(3*Modulus of Elasticity of Steel Reinforcement*Area of Reinforcement*(Effective Length-Depth of Neutral Axis)). Here is an example- 0.000514 = 0.000514-(0.00049*(12.01-0.05)*(4.5-0.05))/(3*200000000000*0.0005*(50.25-0.05)).
