Research on Cracks in Reinforced Concrete Elements by Taking Into Account the Experimentally Determined Concrete and Reinforcing Steel Mechanical Properties

Ivan Ivanchev

Abstract :

 In this paper are presented the results obtained from calculations for cracks width and spacing for reinforced concrete beams subjected to bending. For the experimental investigations 12 reinforced concrete beams were produced – 4 specimens with 3 beams in each one. The specimens differ in provided reinforcement, 

concrete cover and reinforcement ratio. The clear spans for all the beams are the same. In calculations are used the 
experimentally determined concrete and reinforcing steel mechanical properties used for the beams. Crack widths and 
spacing are calculated according to EC2, MC2010 and DIN 1045–1.
