CRACK WIDTH CALCULATION

Note: The following calculations are based on the assumption of the cracked section.
One-way slab action or beam action has been considered.
One layer of reinforcing bars has been considered

c= 1.97 in.

1. Gergely & Lutz Method (Adopted by ACI)

w = 0.076 * (dc*A)1/3 * h2/h1 * fs * 10-3 = 0.0009 inch = 0.023 mm

2. Kaar and Hognestad Method

w = 0.115 * (A)1/4 * h2/h1 * fs * 10-3 = 0.0008 inch = 0.020 mm

3. Base et al Method
w = 3.3 * c * fs / Es * h2/h1 = 0.0007 inch = 0.017 mm
