Crack Control Report

This report shows the serviceability/crack control check for the distribution of longitudinal reinforcement. This report presents the check for top and bottom reinforcement in separate column.

The POI and Location columns show the name and location of the POI. The fs column shows the actual tensile stress at the location. If there is no rebar, then the stress is reported as 0.0. The fsa column shows the allowable stress in rebar. This allowable stress is based on the equations of the specification. The C/D ratio is the ratio of allowable to actual stress (fsa/fs). If the C/D ratio is less than 1.00, i.e., actual stress is greater than the allowable, then an asterisk prints to the C/D ratio to indicate the failure at this location.

The graphical version of this report shows the top stresses as positive, and bottom stresses as negative for clarity.
