Diameter of Longitudinal Bar given Shortest Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Longitudinal Bar = (sqrt((Center-to-center Distance/2)^2+Effective Cover^2)-Shortest Distance)*2
D = (sqrt((z/2)^2+d'^2)-acr)*2
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Diameter of Longitudinal Bar - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Longitudinal Bar shall not have a cover less than 40 mm or the diameter of the bar whichever is more.
Center-to-center Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Center-to-center Distance is a concept for distances, also called on-center spacing, z = R1 + R2 + r.
Effective Cover - (Measured in Meter) - Effective Cover is the distance from exposed surface of concrete to the centroid of main reinforcement.
Shortest Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Shortest Distance is described as the distance from selected level on the surface to the longitudinal bar.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Center-to-center Distance: 40 Angstrom --> 4E-09 Meter (Check conversion here)
Effective Cover: 50.01 Millimeter --> 0.05001 Meter (Check conversion here)
Shortest Distance: 2.51 Centimeter --> 0.0251 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = (sqrt((z/2)^2+d'^2)-acr)*2 --> (sqrt((4E-09/2)^2+0.05001^2)-0.0251)*2

Evaluating ... ...

D = 0.0498200000000001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0498200000000001 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0498200000000001 ≈ 0.04982 Meter <-- Diameter of Longitudinal Bar

What does Effective Cover Mean?

The Effective cover is the distance between the exposed concrete surface to the centroid of the main reinforcement. ( or) The effective cover is the distance between the outermost compression face of RCC to the center of the area of main reinforcement in tension. It is required for protecting the rebar against erosion and providing protection against fire. Clear cover is mainly the actual distance from the bottom of fiber to the bottom level of the reinforcement.

What is Centre to Centre Spacing?

Centre-to-centre distance (c.t.c. distance or ctc distance) is a concept for distances, also called on-center spacing (o.c. spacing or oc spacing), heart distance, and pitch. It is the distance between the centre (the heart) of a column and the centre (the heart) of another column.
