Bond-Transfer-Controlled Crack-Width Modelling of Reinforced Concrete as a Cement-Based Composite Under Imposed Strains
Highlights• Reinforced concrete under imposed strains was analysed as a bond-controlled cement-based composite.• A database of 137 specimens and 1473 measurement-level observations was compiled.• EN 1992-1-1:2023 and MC2020 showed a stress-dependent underestimation of crack width.• Bond- and stage-sensitive terms impro...
