Crack width and crack spacing in reinforced and prestressed concrete elements: Data description and acquisition.

ABSTRACT: Existing databases containing measurements of crack width and spacing are usually limited in size and based on isolated experimental studies. These databases are used to develop new formulas to describe crack patterns in concrete structures. A database obtained from multiple sources of experimental programmes is required to quantify the accuracy of those formulas. To this end, a database containing crack width and crack spacing measurements was created, based on 30 different experimental programs described in literature. The results of each program were described in .xlsx format and queried to a database (.csv) using Structured Query Language (SQL). The structural elements considered in the database are reinforced and prestressed ties, beams, and reinforced slabs with varying geometry, con
