ASBD 2018 crack width check issue

[Anonymous]

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.

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.

Hi Nihit,

Just a follow up.. Are you satisfied with the crack width calcs in ASBD 2019.x?
