    • A new approach in predicting the mean crack spacing of flexural reinforced concrete elements 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; Ramanauskas, Regimantas (fib Symposium 2016. Performance-based approaches for concrete structures, Cape Town, South Africa, 21-23 November 2016 : proceedings: extended abstracts and keynotes, 2016)
      This study aims at developing an innovative way of modelling cracking of reinforced concrete flexural elements. An approach based on the equality of the mean crack spacing of two distinct approaches, namely, the smeared ...
    • Crack spacing model for reinforced concrete tension members based on damage zone and strain compliance concepts 

      Kaklauskas, Gintaris; Ramanauskas, Regimantas; NG, Pui Lam; Jakubovskis, Ronaldas; Juknys, Mantas (fib Symposium 2016. Performance-based approaches for concrete structures, Cape Town, South Africa, 21-23 November 2016 : proceedings: extended abstracts and keynotes, 2016)
      A new theoretical model of crack spacing for reinforced concrete tension members is put forward in this study. The model is based on the combination of damage zone and strain compliance concepts for deriving the crack ...
