The width of third type tangential crack opening in composed reinforced concrete structures
The paper presents some analytical equations for calculation of the width of third type tangential crack opening in composed reinforced concrete structures. The equations comprise influences of ambient factors such as reinforcement strain at the section with crack opening, parameters of concrete-reinforcement bond, geometrical parameters of composed cross-section, warping of the surface of a reinforced concrete structure, strain effect due to damage of entirety, mutual concentrated shear deformations of concrete and reinforcement.
