Abstract

A new formula for predicting maximum crack width in reinforced concrete moderate deep beams have been
developed incorporating size effect parameters. Ratio of effective length to overall depth of beam, diameter of bar,
longitudinal reinforcement ratio have been taken as modifying factor for crack width prediction formula. The performance
of proposed formula is checked using the author’s test results which includes maximum crack width measurement, crack
pattern, modes of failure, propagation load, ultimate and first crack load etc. from 10 reinforced concrete beams without
shear reinforcement. The results of proposed formula well correlates with the experimental results.
