(MOT 2.10) The width of flexural crack "w" in mm is given by:

w 3.3 .c. a
where:
c = The radial distance (mm) from the point at which the crack width
is being considered to the surface of the nearest reinforcing bar.
c= 59 mm y
xa = Tensile strain in concrete at the extreme tension face, at the
point under consideration. h
