    The document provides a formula to calculate the most probable maximum crack width (W) in reinforced concrete according to ACI 224R-EQ.4-2a. The formula is: W=0.076 β Fs ( dc * A)^0.33 Where β is the ratio of distance between the neutral axis and tension face to distance between neutral axis and reinforcement, Fs is the reinforcing steel service stress in ksi, dc is the thickness of concrete cover to closest bar in inches, and A is the area of concrete divided by number of bars in square inches. When this formula is applied to the example given, the calculated crack width is 0.004 inches, which is within the allowable limit
