Calculation of the Minimum Reinforcement for Limitation of Crack Width According to Change of National Annex for ČSN EN 1992-1-1

Article Preview

Abstract:

Design of minimum reinforcement for concrete elements with regard to width of cracks is important for consumptions of steel. Optimal amount of reinforcement shall ensure that cracks, which are typical for reinforced concrete structures, will be small that the serviceability and durability will be not influenced. One of most important parameter for crack width is the maximum distance between cracks. The information connecting with various procedures for design and minimum reinforcement with regard to width of cracks are given in this article.
