Abstract
Proof of controlling crack width is a basic condition for securing suitable performance in ser-viceability limit state Most codes struggle with offering procedure for crack width calculation So did the former Euro Code ENV 1992-1-1 dec 1991 and the present BS EN 1992-1-1 2004 Both contain a proce-dure rendering almost identical calculation results however aiming mainly to pure bending while eccentric load is practically out of the scope A simplified procedure is offered here aiming to fill this gap via a very simple transformation leaving the principles of the Euro Code unchanged Numerical examples demonstrate the application of the suggested procedure Comparison with parallel analytical tools support the validity of the results thus obtained The procedure is simple user friendly and ready to be involved in code drafting
