bt is the width of the section at the level of the centroid of the tension steel;
a' is the distance from the compression face to the point at which the crack
width is being calculated;
Mg is the moment at the section considered due to permanent loads ;
Mq is the moment at the section considered due to live loads;
es is the calculated strain in the tension reinforcement, ignoring the stiffening
effect of the concrete in the tension zone;
As is the area of tension reinforcement b
