ACI - Crack Calculations PDF

This document provides properties and calculations for steel reinforcement and concrete used in a reinforced concrete beam. It includes the yield strength of the steel, modulus of elasticity of steel and concrete, concrete compressive strength, and geometric properties of the beam such as dimensions, rebar sizes and spacing. Crack width is calculated using ACI equations and compared to a serviceability limit of 0.1 mm. The calculated crack width of 0.086 mm is lower than the limit.
