Hi all:

As per IS: 456 2000, the Indian Standard code of practice for Reinforced Concrete the flexural tensile  strength of concrete is given as 0.7x square root(fck)-clause 6.2.2 page 16.

But as per IS:1343 1980,code of practice for Prestressed concrete the maximum principal tensile stress is given by 0.24 x square root(fck)- clause 22.4.1 page 46.

Why this difference, i.e. 0.7x square root(fck) for reinforced concrete and 0.24 x square root(fck) for prestressed concrete??
Plz. help!!

Flexural tensile stress is the allowable TENSILE stress in the concrete.

Principal stress is the RESULTANT of all the stresses in the section. For example, a section may be subjected to flexural as well as a compressive or tensile stress at the same time. The principal stress is the resultant of such stresses.

Hence the apparent difference.

Dear  Mr. Indrajit Barua
With referance to your mail , I want to clear it that the principal
stress is not resultant stress it is maximum stress on
which there is no shear stress , that is  maximam pure tensile stress
capacity hence it is 0.24 sqrt (fck) in IS 1343  not  0.7 sqrt (fck)
as asper IS 456

Dear Mr. jrm,

I suppose you need to be clear regarding the type of tensile stress (or
strength) you are dealing with as mentioned by Shri Barua. Tensile strength
can be obtained by two distinct ways namely (1) under bending tension (2)
direct tension. Of these, the later one is difficult to obtain and its
reliability is also questionable due to many reasons. It is worth noting
that both the tests will give different values for same material, with
bending tension being 50 to 60 percent more than the direct tension.

The IS:456 stress is the rupture strength (i.e. tensile strength in bending)
and that of IS:1343 is principal tensile strength. Be also noted that the
rupture tensile stress for prestressed concrete is also 0.7 times sqrt(fck)
[fck in MPa] (You can refer some suitable clause of IS1343 for reference).
Traditionally, we are ignoring tensile strength of concrete for flexure,
while for bond and shear many a times we take them into account. If you read
closely, IS:1343 will show you two seperate clauses to estimate shear
strength (with and without concrete cracked in flexure). [exact clause
numbers I don't remember now - it may be perhaps what you have mentioned].

Now knowing that the concerned difference is due to different types of
tensile stress specifications, your original question can be re-spelled as
"why principal tensile stress (and not rupture tensile stress) is specified
in IS:1343 (in clause you mentioned)?" - Try it.

with pleasant regards,

Kunal Kansara
