Abstract

The present work studies the problem of cracking due to volume change of base restrained reinforced concrete walls. The cracking behaviour of some 61 full size walls and 14 experimental walls was investigated. The observed primary and secondary crack spacings and widths were compared with the values obtained using recently developed formulas and with formulas developed previously. Good agreement was found between the observed values and those predicted using the developed formulas.
