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...
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!
