Cracks

The document provides calculations related to a concrete section, including the neutral axis depth, stress in tension steel, maximum crack spacing, and crack width. Key values include a neutral axis depth of approximately 180.80 mm, a tension steel stress of about 132.27 N/mm2, and a maximum crack spacing of approximately 459.85 mm. The calculations utilize various coefficients and formulas to determine these structural properties.
