w=
1+ 2( acr −cnom ) /(h−d c )
acr is distance from the point (crack) considered to the surface of the nearest bar
which controls the crack width;
Cnom is the required nominal cover
dc is the depth of the concrete in compression (if d c is 0 use BS5400 Pt 4 Eq. 26)
h is the overall depth
em is the calculated strain at the level where cracking is being considered, allowing
for the stiffening effect of the concrete in the tension zone;

ε m=ε 1−[ ][(1− q )10−9 ]
ε s A s (h−d c ) Mg
but shall not be greater than e1

e1 is the calculated strain at the level where cracking is being considered, ignoring
stiffening of the concrete in the tension zone;

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
