When calculating RC. tank's cracking width, should the seismic forces be considered? Can you give the direct basis on codes(USA codes, or British codes, or Eurocodes)?
I think seismic force should not be included in the load combination when calculating cracking width of tank, but I can not...
Thank you very much for your help! But I may not have expressed myself clearly. I have found this diagram from many books (same content, slightly different form), but I would like to know from which book exactly I uploaded this diagram, which is apparently from chapter 12 of the book. I've...
Thank all experts above! Now I have a new question, in eurocodes or British codes, is the follow fig. right ? If there are some mistakes, why? Can you tell me which provisions in codes it cannot meet?
Thank you for your help! Now I'm confused about the Figure 8.1. Is Lb,eq similar with ldh ? If the the lb,eq is too long so as the support is not wide enough, how can we design the rebar anchorage? The hook end can be lengthened ?
Why there is no requirement such as ldh in ACI318 in Eurocode2. I can't find such provisions in Eurocode2. So when the straight anchorage length cannot be met, which point can be started to bend the rebar? Can we find some basis in Eurocode2 about this. Thank you!
