Special ReportCracks and Crack Controlin Concrete StructuresFritz LeonhardtProfessor EngineerStuttgart, FRGThe material presented in this paper isbased on more than 30 years of re-search, observations and experienceconcerning causes, Control , and conse-quences of cracking in Concrete struc-tures. This extensive background washelpful in the preparation of this paperwhich deals with questions of presence of cracking does notnecessarily indicate deficiency instrength or serviceability of concretestructures. While currently available de-sign code provisions lead to reasonablecontrol of cracking, additional controlcan be achieved by understanding thebasic causes and mechanisms of Crack -Note: This paper is a revised and updated version ofan article originally published in the Proceedings ofthe International Association for Bridge and Struc-tural Engineering (1 ABSE), Zurich, Switzerland,1987, p.
