Value of strength for calculation of cracking forces

This value can be set in Concrete setting by using Advanced level or in 1D member data (advanced mode is ON), if defined. If normal concrete stress on un-cracked section at the most tensioned fibre of concrete cross-section is greater than this value, the crack will occur and the crack width will be calculated. There are two possibilities:

0 MPa it means that crack width is calculated if there is some tension in cross-section
fct,eff it means, that crack width is calculated only in case that normal concrete stress on un-cracked section at the most tensioned fiber of concrete cross-section is greater the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time
