Calculation of Crack Width

The document describes the process for calculating crack width in concrete structures using inputs from design codes and material properties. The inputs, calculations, and outputs are listed, including concrete strength, reinforcement properties, dimensions, and applied loads. The modular ratio, reinforcement ratio, neutral axis depth, stresses, and strains are calculated. Average strain is determined for different crack widths, and the final calculated crack width is 0.57 mm.
