A special focus is given to the control of cracking induced by thermal effects. Moreover, the paper presents vital issues not mentioned in PN-EN 1992-3[8], i.e. the influence of concrete cover thickness, concreting conditions and non-uniform self-equilibrating stresses. It proposes relationships and corrective values, with the use of which values φs and sz, appropriate for cases other than those defined in PN-EN 1992-3[8], can be established. It is shown that code charts 7.103N and 7.104N concerning φs * and sz *, due to code assumptions, have a very limited range of practical use.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.171.5782}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/crack-control-in-rc-tank-walls-according-to-pn-en-1992-3} }
