Crack spacing of reinforced concrete information


Concrete is a brittle material and can only withstand small amount of tensile strain due to stress before cracking. When a reinforced concrete member is put in tension, after cracking, the member elongates by widening of cracks and by formation of new cracks.

Figure 1 Formation of internal cracks

Ignoring the small elastic strain in the concrete between the cracks, we can relate the crack width to the strain of the member by:
