Crack Width

This document contains a calculation of crack width for a concrete beam based on ACI 350-01 specifications. It provides the input parameters of the beam, including dimensions, material strengths, reinforcement details, and applied moment. It then shows the calculations to determine the crack width based on the Gergely & Lutz formula. The results determine that the calculated crack width of 0.0121 inches does not satisfy the allowable limit of 0.01 inches.
