A Critical Evaluation of the Use of Crack Width Requirements in the Durability Design of Marine Reinforced Concrete Structures by Elias, Nicholas

“…It is therefore recommended that the current crack width requirements should be removed from the durability design codes of practice and replaced with either a limitation on steel stress, a more lenient crack width requirement (for example, of 0.5 mm rather than 0.3 mm), or a performance-based crack width requirement, which takes better account of the complexity of cracking and its effect on durability. …”

Influence of mix design parameters on restrained shrinkage cracking in non-structural concrete patch repair mortars by Arito, Philemon

“…This dearth of information makes the design and development of PRMs with improved resistance to cracking challenging. The problem is further compounded by the fact that the existing code of practice for concrete repair - the EN 1504-3:2005 - specifies many material properties such as chloride ion content, compressive strength, bond strength, skid resistance and capillary absorption. …”
