Section 3.12.11.2.1 Bar spacing

For all RC structures, and PT beams and one-way slabs, crack checks are performed per Part 2, 3.8.2 and crack widths are limited to 0.3 mm. This crack width design supersedes the other requirements in this section.

RAM Concept ’s implementation of the crack width calculations are detailed in "Part 2, Section 3.8."3.

User defined bars are counted toward satisfying the maximum spacing requirements. Bars at an angle to the cross section consider the sum of their vector components divided by the gross area of one bar as the total number of provided bars for spacing calculations.
