Note 1: For X0, XC1 exposure classes, crack width has no influence on durability and this
limit is set to give generally acceptable appearance. In the absence of
appearance conditions this limit may be relaxed
Note 2: For these exposure classes, in addition, decompression should be checked under
the quasi‐permanent combination of loads.
In the absence of specific requirements (e.g. water‐tightness), it may be assumed that limiting the
calculated crack widths to the values of wmax given in Table 7.1(CYS), under the quasi‐permanent
combination of loads, will generally be satisfactory for reinforced concrete members in buildings with
respect to appearance and durability.
The durability of prestressed members may be more critically affected by cracking. In the absence of
more detailed requirements, it may be assumed that limiting the calculated crack widths to the values
of wmax given in Table 7.1(CYS), under the frequent combination of loads, will generally be satisfactory
for prestressed concrete members. The decompression limit requires that all parts of the tendons or
duct lie at least 25mm within concrete in compression.

Note 1: The values given have been chosen to be generally conservative and calculation may frequently
show that thinner members are possible
Note 2: For 2‐way spanning slabs, the check should be carried out on the basis of the shorter span. For
flat slabs the longer span should be taken.
Note 3: The limits given for flat slabs correspond to a less severe limitation than a mid‐span deflection
of span/250 relative to the columns. Experience has shown this to be satisfactory.
The values given by Expression (7.16) of CYS EN 1992‐1‐1:2004 and Table 7.4(CYS) have been
derived from results of a parametric study made for a series of beams or slabs simply
supported with rectangular cross section, using the general approach given in 7.4.3 of CYS EN
1992‐1‐1:2004. Different values of concrete strength class and a 500 MPa characteristic yield
strength were considered. For a given area of tension reinforcement the ultimate moment
was calculated and the quasi‐permanent load was assumed as 50% of the corresponding total
design load. The span/depth limits obtained satisfy the limiting deflection given in 7.4.1(5) of
CYS EN 1992‐1‐1:2004.
