CRACK WIDTHS BEAM AND SLAB CRACK WIDTH DESIGN DESIGN | C15
The module accounts for concrete shrinkage due to hydration by a combination of the thermal expansion coefficient and the restraint factor. The design method employed by the codes is ideally suited for non-temperate regions like Europe.
Theory used in this module Concrete cracking has traditionally been correlated with the prevailing tensile steel stress. BS8007 - 1984 also takes account of the type of reinforcement, i.e., bond between concrete and reinforcement.
