van der Esch, Anton (author), Wolfs, Rob (author), Fennis, Sonja (author), Roosen, M.A. (author), Wijte, Simon (author)Over the last century, over one hundred crack width formulas have been developed to calculate the width and spacing of cracks in reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. It is unclear which formulas are the most accurate. An extensive comparison study is required to determine which formulas accurately describe the crack patterns,...journal article 2023

Roosen, M.A. (author), Yang, Y. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Schaafsma, Dick G. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N.

This while it may be expected that a region without flexural cracks will have a higher shear resistance. This is due to the lower longitudinal strains and the narrow...journal article 2022
