ASBD 2018 crack width check issue

Anonymous — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 05:10:47 GMT

Hi,

I am getting different crack width from ASBD 2017 and ASBD 2018.

It seems that ASBD crack width calculations are not right.

While calculating strain in the section, ASBD 2018 mistakenly takes effective fctm in negative which ultimately results in higher strain and higher crack width.

Regards

Hi Nihit,

We fixed the tensile strength (fctm) signage issue in ASBD 2019, so crack width calculation in the current version is similar to what it was in the 2017 version.
