A Unified Formula for Calculation of Crack Width and Spacing in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Highlights Reinforced concrete beam cracking behavior was experimentally examined with a new type of seismic bar. New methods for the calculation of average crack spacing and maximum crack width were presented. A unified formula for the calculation of maximum crack width was proposed.
