Modified cracked membrane model for consistent crack width predictions of reinforced concrete structures subjected to in-plane loading

The modified cracked membrane model (MCMM) presented in this paper was formulated to facilitate a mechanical calculation model that predicts crack widths in reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to in-plane loading for all cracking stages. It was formulated using the basic concepts of the existing cracked membrane model (CMM)....

Experimental and theoretical investigation of crack width calculation methods for RC ties

This paper theoretically and experimentally investigates the semi-empirical formulas recommended by Eurocode 2 (EC2), fib Model Code 2010 (MC2010), and Eurocode 2 with the German National Annex (DIN) for calculating crack widths in reinforced concrete. It is shown that the formulas can be derived from the principles for the idealized behavior...
