8.1 Introduction
1. Reduction in stiffness due to cracking 2. Elongation and curvature
3. Stiffness varies from minimum to
maximum (crack to midway between cracks)
4. Two extreme states
5. Interpolation :extent of cracking
8.2 Basic assumptions
1. Free from crack: state 1 2. Fully crack : state 2
3. Bernoulli’s hypothesis
4. Contribution of concrete in the tension zone : tension stiffening
8.3 Strain due to axial tension
1. Free from crack
2. Section in state 2
