Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the main regularities of the normal cracks level formation in reinforced concrete elements and structures. A critical analysis of the latest publications related to the theme of these studies has been carried out. The main characteristics of prototypes, the conditions for their manufacture and storage are given. Based on the experimental studies results, it has been established that in the real design of bending reinforced concrete elements, when calculating their crack resistance, one can restrict oneself to only two levels of normal cracking. A statistical comparison of the calculation results using the author’s and other methods with experimental data confirmed the effectiveness of those calculation methods in which the crack formation step is directly related to the basic laws and parameters of reinforcement to concrete adhesion.
