Crack Width (Flexure - BS8110-2) by RG

The document presents calculations for flexural crack width in a slab, referencing BS 8110-Part 2. Key parameters include concrete and steel strengths, element dimensions, and calculated design surface crack width of 0.566 mm, which exceeds the allowable limit of 0.20 mm. A warning is issued indicating that the design crack width is not acceptable.
