Water Tank Crack Width

This document provides calculations to determine crack width in reinforced concrete based on parameters specified in IS 456 - 2000. It specifies the grade of concrete as M20, moment as 400 kNm, dimensions as overall depth 1000mm and width 1000mm, cover as 50mm, bar diameter as 16mm, bar spacing as 150mm, modulus of elasticity of steel as 2x10^5 N/mm2, and calculates the effective depth, neutral axis depth, lever arm, stress in steel, strain in concrete, modified strain, calculated crack width, and determines it is less than the specified 0.1mm limit.
