Crack width calculations for reinforced concrete structures with imposed deformations are not fully specified in Eurocode 2. The lack of information has resulted in confusion about crack width calculations for reinforced concrete structures exposed to thermal gradients. Therefore, different engineers are using various approaches for implementation of load effects from thermal gradients. Use of restraint forces from linear finite element analysis and empirical calculations are two variants of these approaches. The restraint forces based on linear material behavior are criticized for being overestimated and the empirical calculations of restraint reinforcement strain are assumed uncertain for concrete structures with a limited crack propagati...
