App.F
A 100 Introduction
App.F A
101 The general basis for calculation of crackwidth in an offshore
structure is provided in Sec.6 O700.
App.F A
102 This Appendix provide recommendations for calculation of crackwidth
for stabilized crack pattern. Stabilized crackpattern is defined
as a crackpattern developed in such a way that an increase in the
load will only lead to minor changes in the number, spaces between
cracks and direction of cracks.
App.F A
103 Normally, a stabilized crackpattern is used in evaluation of
crackwidth as the provision of minimum reinforcement in the structure
is intended to ensure a well spaced developed crackpattern.
