Crack Width Calculation

The document describes the Indian code provisions for calculating crack width in reinforced concrete structures. It provides the formulas for calculating: 1) acr, the distance from the point considered to the nearest bar surface, 2) ε1, the strain at the level considered ignoring concrete tension stiffness, and 3) W, the crack width. It then provides sample input data and calculations for a numerical example.
